Dog Walking Schedule & Family Walk Tracker (Digital Download)

"Did anyone walk the dog?" Stop guessing.

This tracker gives every family member a fair turn on the leash and shows you at a glance if each dog has had their walks today. Built for families sharing dog duty, roommates, busy dog parents with 1 to 3 dogs, and anyone handing off to a dog sitter.

Light or dark, your choice

You get the tracker in two looks: Daylight (bright and clean) and Midnight (a dark mode that's easier on the eyes for late walks). Same tabs, same formulas. Use whichever you like.

What's inside

• FREE: Midnight dark-mode version of the spreadsheet (same features)
• Printables (one .zip file): 4 undated pages plus a cover in US Letter, A4 and Low-Ink: fridge walk rota, daily walk checklist, walk log and dog sitter walk instructions

FAQ

I only have one dog.
Leave the other dog rows blank and the dashboard adjusts.

We walk all the dogs together.
Pick "All dogs" in the log and it counts for each dog.

Can I change the walk times?
Yes. Set each slot's start time on Settings, or switch a slot off.

How much exercise does my dog need?
That depends on your dog's age, breed and health, so ask your vet.

Not veterinary advice. Exercise needs vary by dog, so check with your vet.
