be off doing something = be away from here doing something
For example:
A: Is John in the office today?
B: No, he's off making a sales presentation in another city.
In your example, I guess it means the person is away from the house/office doing something for an hour every day.

"be off" means a lot of things
Once again, post the original sentence. It doesn't help anybody when you abstract phrases like this.
