Living alone and wanting a dog

Hi there, I have worked hard for 3 years and finally am ready to hopefully get a dog. My apartment is fairly large for one person. I’m looking for a small breed 20-25 lbs or less.

My concerns are that I have an average job in office 5 days a week, 8 hours. My commute is only 15 mins, but I wouldn’t be able to go home for lunch sadly.

I do plan on also using my inside cameras as a way to watch/speak to the dog when I’m not home idk if anybody has ever done that or if that makes their anxiety worse?

If anyone is in my similar position and has a small dog in an apartment, how do you make it work living alone?

I am also not against doggy daycare, I am open to all ideas that would help benefit my dog when I get one!

Please comment any advice or share your experience. :)
