How old is she? Is she potty trained?
Mine got free run when they were 1.5 yrs old ~ That's when *they* were trustable.
Walmart.com carries a white plastic play yard which can be used to *block* off areas to contain her with more freedom than her crate, or you can connect the whole xpen together (6 panels) and keep her in there!
P.S. If you buy it and do the 'site to store' shipping is free.
