Default Battery drain?

Hi all
I've had to jump start my car the last three days in the morning. It then starts ok in the afternoon.
The battery is only about six months old, so should be ok. Ive checked the alternator (it's about 9 months old) and it is fine.

Since the lockdown I only use the car twice a day to take the dogs out (about a mile each way)
So..........
Have I got a battery drain going on, or are the short trips doing this? I don't have satnav. Would appreciate some advice before I get involved with an auto electrician and the costs involved.

Thanks
Geoff
