I really don't think there is an issue with the same person taking a dog out twice a day in the way you describe - two 30 minute walks at either end of the day seems reasonable, I just think the strict interpretation of the guidance is once a day per person. Keeping dogs on the lead and under control seems like the most important issue.

In practical terms, my dog goes out for three short walks a day, different person walking him each time where possible. I have a garden, so he doesn't need to be taken out for toilet breaks and I could reduce the number of walks if necessary. I'm keeping him on the lead at all times, to avoid the risk of him running over to other dogs (despite pretty good recall) and making social distancing from other dog walkers more difficult.
