My Corso was crate trained as a puppy, and he goes in it whenever he's left - because of his size it's simply impossible to keep anything out of his reach and, with an open-plan kitchen, he can't be contained. He was over the 4 1/2 foot gate I put in before he reached 6 months...
I work from home a day a week and come home early one other day, and my partner works early or late shifts, so he's rarely left for long. When we leave him, he goes in the crate with a raw beef shin bone and a large Kong stuffed with raw mince - both are gone by the time we're back. He sleeps the rest of the time. I take him out for an hour first thing and half an hour in the evening.
He doesn't need a dog walker and, even if he did now that he's maturing (15 months), there's little chance of him accepting a stranger in the house without one of us being there.
