Both me and my girlfriend have had cats(up until 8!) and dogs since we were kids, so we have a ton of experience in taking care of them. At least one of us is home every day of the week due to working from home and university, so potty breaks during the day are more than fine. We live on the first floor without any outside space like a balcony. The house is well isolated and no noise comes in during nights.
Pets can be on the couch and if they’re not too big, on the bed as well :)

We both miss our pets at our parents’ houses so we are desperate for cuddles!!
