Now expected to walk my bosses dog at lunch.

My boss started bringing her dog in maybe once a week. She works through lunch so she can leave work an hour early. I like to walk at lunch time. She asked if I could walk her dog and I genuinely didnt mind to begin with. But now she's bringing her dog in 3 or 4 times a week and now just expects me to walk her dog on my lunch break. I am a very busy mum so my only time to get my steps in is during my lunch and I find the dog annoys me by constantly stopping to sniff and slowing down my pace as well as picking up the poo which isnt my own dog is unpleasant!!! I finally said no when my boss asked me the other day and she was like oh please just a quick one! And it's now just irritating me that I have to walk her dog on my lunch when I just want to be on my own and decompress from being a busy working mum. it's getting to the point where I am thinking of possible ways and lies of getting out of it.
AIBU to feel this way. And if not any advise. It is my boss and I love my job but it's getting to me now.

It got the lunch time the other day and she told the dog to ask me for a walk so I thought nows the time I say something! I just said what I said on here and she just said she felt bad as she honestly thought I just loved to walk the dog. Wasn't anywhere near as bad as what I built up in my head and all cleared up now!

Because really, who wouldn't want to walk someone else's dog, pick up its poo and have to wait while it sniff other's dogs backsides/does a wee??? All in your own lunch hour 🙄

Your manager isn't overly bright, is she
