Vets only really need to know if they came out of the gas without any problems. She should be able to come home, eat and drink a little and then left in a quite draft free place to sleep.

When I was rescuing Yorkies I was allowed in the surgery room and once they were stable and the vet was comfortable I took them home...this was usually within an hour or two.
This works if your vet does early morning surgeries. Some vets see patients in the mornings and surgeries in the afternoon so they have to keep them overnight.

If this is the case on the day her spay is scheduled, ask if there are any morning surgery dates available and reschedule it.
