I have a large secure backyard and live very close to the beach. I own a very sweet, placid and active Kelpie so am always out and about with him as my companion. Most activities I do involves my pooch so the more the merrier. I enjoy going for runs / walks in the mornings and evenings so if I was to mind your dog, they would be included. Happy for them to sleep indoors at night if that is what they are used to....
