I live alone currently in a nice sized pet friendly one bedroom apt. However, I am close to a park and very active. I enjoy jogging especially when I have a friend to motivate me! and a large grassy area plus a huge open field less then a mile from my home with a playground so there will be other kids around to interact with the animals as well (under supervision of course) I'm all about doggy parks etc... for the pets to get ample exposure to others (Human and animal) I have never had any issues with my pets and many of my friends used to ask me to raise there pets since mine were so well behaved. It always came naturally to me. :)
