Well I live alone and I work full-time. My furbaby stays at home all day alone with no problems. I go out with my friends and do all kinds of things with and without my baby. However I am mindful of how long I stay out. The most Brandi is ever alone is about 8 hours. For example, I normally go home straight from work to feed her but there are times when I do have stuff to do after work. I would never leave her alone to go away for a weekend. I either make arrangements to have someone watch her or I take her with me. If yorkies had to be watched every minute of the day, they would not be one of the most popular dogs.

Brandi uses potty pads so for me I don't have to worry getting home to walk her but I do try to keep her on a feeding schedule. If you do decided to get a yorkie, setup a webcam that you can access from the internet to monitor her. That's what I did with Brandi for the first few months I had her and guess what? She mostly just slept all day.

Yorkies can bring so much joy to your life that you will want to spend every waking moment with them but for those times that you can't, they will be okay home alone.

Also if you think you might be out of a job, you might want to wait to get a yorkie. Vet bills are expensive and the last thing you want is for your furbaby to be sick and not be able to take her to the vets. It is so heatbreaking to see them in any kind of pain or discomfort.
