I have a fenced yard with a doggie door from our "dog room." This would give them free reign (unless they are crate-training) to move in and outside as needed if I am away for an hour. They would have access to the dog room and outside regularly throughout the day. I have one very sweet dog, Bella. She is medium-sized Basenji mix and absolutely loves playing with other dogs. She likes long walks and runs. I run or walk everyday and always bring a dog with me! We live close to a forest park to run around in and some smaller neighborhood parks. I live with one housemate who will also give your dog some extra love and attention!
