Personally I'd say it depends on how literal everything is. 'Calling in for half an hour' doesn't just mean 30 minutes, it can also mean that they've arranged for somebody to go round every day to make sure it's ok, fed, watered and walked.
I had a similar arrangement a few years ago. When i went on holiday , my mate who lived 15 yards away would take care of the dog. If people asked if I'd put the dog in kennels i'd tell them that he's staying at home but one of my mates is keeping an eye on him.. but Ste would let him out in the morning before work and change his water, let him out when he got home from work, take him for a walk and also take him across to his for the evening... So it all just depends on how literal he means it.

Plus, if somebody asked 'you' to do the same thing; would you just go round for 30 minutes a day and that's it? or spend more time there, walking it and playing with it

I think that would all depend on if it was a 'mate' doing that or a paid dog walker.

I'm presuming it's a friend as the OP said they can't afford kennels. A quick Google shows the average price for a kennel is between £10 and £15 a day. Dog walking rates aren't that far behind.... so i decided it must be a friend

Never in a million years would I leave a dog for a week...overnight if there was no option but that's it
