If you can..try a large kennel instead of a closet. Looking at walls all day & night is probably boring her as well. The reason I say this is because I bring my pup to work with me everyday. At work she has a large space to run around and play in and she's great but when I take her home she's a different dog so I've had to adjust her space to keep her happy. She still barks and whines but I know that she wants her freedom so that's what she gets until she tires out. There are some really nice kennels out there that look like furniture. PetsMart has some. Maybe if she can see what is going on around her she will calm down. Too..if she is sleeping all day while you are gone then she is ready to go when you get home.
Good Luck!!!
