Or will he make a mess?

Oh no he needs to be in the crate LOL I learned the hard way... Trust me. Stuff chewed up, crap and pee all over the place just to show me how mad he is at me when Im not there. My big boss whom I am friends with and whom has a huge yard with kids and another dog he gets along with called. And he will take Simon. And I can come and see him anytime I want. Simon has been around him and the boss's other dog alot. So they get along well. Im glad he will be ok and happy and I can still go see him... Thanks for inquiring
