I had no idea how I managed to go to work when I first got Scottie. I was a mess. Had to watch him on the dog camera all day at work to make sure he was okay. And then, I started brain storming on how I could find a job that pays the same that allows me to work from home (haha..no solution yet!).
Then I got Casie the trouble maker. Because there's two of them at home, I feel better. I still watched them at first on the dog camera. But I know all they do is sleep while I'm at work. They're super chill. And super bored. But they have each other, so at least I know they don't feel 'lonely'.
As for the grass turf that someone mentioned, I have one! It's called the Porch Potty. You can see Scottie and Casie use it on my balcony here:

For a less expensive option, I found a really cool DIY article to make your own (I would have totally wanted to do this, but I don't have the luxury of space to make anything at home):
