Answers:

In answering your question from experience, yes at first they are wondering why your not there, but soon fall in to the daily routine, they know what time your home, Just make sure you doggy proof the house, take temptation away keep door closed so they do not get in to things, sometimes they do get bored so make sure there are toys to play with, don't give them free range of the house, keep them in a safe place, they adapt quite quickly.Also depends on the breed of dog you should not expect a large breed dog to stay inside when they should be out side, sometimes it helps to have two they keep each other company.My dogs sleep most of time i am gone when they were puppy's they got into stuff and chew that is teething and boredom, they grew out of it, If you have friends with pets ask them what they have experienced,sometimes pet sitting gives you the answer your looking for. Dog are super smart, just make sure your dog has some obedience and they know your alfa dog.What ever you decided good luck.

My dog enjoyed sleeping and looking out the window while we were away. We told her it was her job to watch the house, and she took it seriously.

Most dogs sleep, or watch thru the window what's going on outside, some will chew on their toys and/or on a bone, but they mostly sleep.

dogs sleep 16 hrs a day . so if nobody's home . they sleep .

I have an inside dog and while I'm gone she does fine. I believe they just lay around and sleep. Also she chews those little rawhide bones.

It depends on the Dog really. Some Dogs will LOVE to destroy your house, others will just sleep most of the day.
