When my dogs were puppies I kept them in the kitchen with news paper and or wee wee pads. The kitchen floor was tile so it was easy to clean , every day. They had enough room to play and had water bowl and toys. I was able to work with out worring. They also had their beds. I don't like crating my dogs when I am not at home. Just my opinion. Any tile or easy to clean surface is good.
