is this separation anxiety or something else

My 1.5 year old dog has started barking randomly, for long periods of time throughout the day. But she doesn't bark throughout the day, or even when i leave for work. However, around 2pm, lets say, she'll start to bark if I am at work that day. I thought it was because she knows her dog walker comes around this time, and she's eager to get outside and she might be a little bored. However, she just went on a 1.5 hour walk with her dog walker (who is literally great and she gets great exercise with him) but she started barking for 20-30 minutes after he left (was checking the cams in the house). So now I am confused…i guess it could be a trigger from the apartment hallway, but she never does that when I am home?? does this sound like separation anxiety or something else?
