Before when Charlie was younger I would just keep him confined to our living room/kitchen area. Eventually he learned how to push open the gate and get past it so I just let him be out wherever he would like in the house. We keep all the doors closed though, except for my room since one of his beds are in there as well as my bed which he likes sleeping on from time to time. I think if your dog isn't having any accidents or causing huge messes while your gone leaving her freely should be okay. All Charlie does is sleep while he's home alone. maybe she does the same?!
