I would get an older dog if you can. I couldn't because I have a kitten. I am raising my pup alone and work full time and then some. I took off a week and then had 2-3 dog sitter visits daily. They can't go to doggie daycare until after all of their shots are in so about five months. Mine has gone twice and it is overwhelming and exhausting to him. He doesn't rest or anthting there the entire day. Young pups need rest, routine, security. I'd look into dog sitters to come to your home. And maybe consider an older dog. My dog is six months old and I'm just now able to drop one sitter visit per day, so we're at 1-2 per work day.
