If I were you, I would try blocking off a room for her, such as the kitchen, making sure that there is nothing there that she can get into and no way she can get out. I would leave her water (and food if she free feeds) and a bed and toys and pee pee pads "just in case". I would feel better leaving her for 9 hours in that situation than in such a small crate.
Good luck with whatever you decide.  |
I would give this a try. Nine hours is to long to in a kennel.
