This is what I would do.

During the day, I would pen off an area or small room in the house to contain the puppy. A lot of people use bathrooms, laundry rooms, or kitchens. Obviously make sure it's puppy proofed and he/she can't get into any trouble. Make sure you have a pee pad, toys, bed, food, and water. This way, the puppy has room to run and play, sleep, eat if hungry, and have a place to potty. At night I would crate the puppy so that as soon as you woke up in the morning, you could take him/her to the pee pad or outside to relieve itself.
