Welcome to YT! I have a female so can't help with the neuter questions, but the biting and chewing don't last forever. They will get their adult teeth and be much better. So just give him lots of things that are safe for chewing. We usually car travel and take our baby along. I have heard good things about the Petsmart hotel but have not used it. We crated our baby about the same hours. Sounds like you have a great schedule and good help.
