I've had pets my whole life and after a certain age, they are find to be left home alone as long as they don't have separation anxiety. A puppy is more work in the beginning but after a certain age, they settle into a routine just like humans do. Just make sure there is no separation anxiety and you should be fine.

I always use a webcam whenever I bring home a new pet so that I can monitor through the day to see if I need to make any behavioral corrections (like if they have separation anxiety). But honestly if our pets needed 24 hour supervision none of would have pets

While pets prefer to be with their humans, they will be okay if left home alone provided they have a routine. Animals are creatures of habit and they thrive in environments that are more structured and routine.
