My point was, are there other people to let your dog go pee/poop while you are away and that sounds like a yes. The main hurdle in owning pets by yourself is leaving them alone for extended hours. Some dogs may develop separation anxiety, kidney infections (from holding it in too long) or just have accidents in the home while you are away.

If you work close to where you live and can come home during your break to relieve them, that would be a HUGE difference.
