Question Suggestions for tomorrow

So me and bf are going to Comic Con tomorrow, yay! BUT we didn't get a hotel so Uni will be staying at home. MIL is working at the OC fair tomorrow, and BIL works too at his shop starting at noon. Do you think I should ask them to look after her before and after work? Or should I assume they can't be trusted and don't ask them anything.

We are leaving by 7am the latest. Usually we don't get up til about 9am, so Uni will still be sleepy by the time we are leaving, and I know for a fact she won't want to eat anything before we go. Normally she eats at snack breakfast (half boiled egg white, one teaspoon cottage cheese, one baby carrot, + her omega 3 supplement) at 11am. Then around 3 or 4 she eats lunch (kibble) then at 10 or 11pm dinner (kibble with canned mixed in +cosequin pill). We usually go to bed around 1 am.

We probably won't get home till about 1am. She never eats when she is home alone. Any suggestions of what I should do? Just free feed for the day? I'm worried there will be a big roach crawling in her food and she will get sick or worse.

Also I'm worried if someone tries to break in, there is no alarm system. Some people tried to jump the fence a few weeks ago, but the bull terrier scared them off. And the rat terrier always looks like he wants to kill Uni (he's very old and getting senile, doesn't remember who we are ) There is a sun room where I can lock the door to keep the dogs all seperated, but I can't guarrantee it will stay closed b/c MIL and BIL will be leaving after us and maybe they could forget to lock it.

Or should I take her to the shop where i know she will be 100% safe and no bugs there, but no human contact all day till we get back? Both ways kind of suck. Oh she is indoor pad trained at both places so peeing is not a problem.

and is missing one day's worth of her supplements not a biggie?
Am I making this a bigger deal than it is?
