Dogs often pee where our scent is strongest and most concentrated, such as our bed, the couch we lounge on in the evening, our clothing or shoes. Dogs pee to relieve stress, anxiety, out of fear, deep respect or nervousness or to mark their territory. Likely she's feeling alone, anxious and stressed and helps herself the best way she knows how - by relieving her bladder where she's most comforted. The sound of another dog in the neighborhood barking or its scent could stress her or make her fearful. Some other noise that happens during the day could make her fearful or worried. You never know what happens to make a dog uncertain or anxious when you aren't there. Sometimes just being alone is too much for some dogs.

Perhaps shutting her off from the bed or removing her doggie stairs so she can't get up there on the bed and leaving her several kongs with her dog food in them so she has to work to get her food out piece at a time, leaving the TV sound or radio on and hiding treats around the house before you leave can give her some things to do for a while after you leave. I put Tibbe's kibble in a 2 liter empty, washed and dried Diet Coke bottle and he loves to bat it around and eventually bounce out a piece of kibble to eat and will work with that Diet Coke bottle until it is finally empty - and my nerves are shattered! lol. But he just loves to work that way for his food. Takes him 45 minutes to eat his 1/4 cup of food that way and he's so happy while he's doing it, he's dog-laughing and just happy as a clam while he's "seeking and hunting" down his own dinner.

Keeping a dog busy with life-enriching puzzles and games and lots of walks, activities and obedience training can calm a stressed or anxious dog down a great deal and fulfill their lives and some dogs just must have that level of involvement and work in order not to feel useless, nervous and anxious when they are alone and left to their own devices. You might try stepping up her activity level when you are home, get her busy working learning obedience commands for treats and praise and leave her more things to do, cut her access to the bed off and see if she won't gain more self-confidence and enjoy her life more and feel less anxious.
