We do not crate Max or Sasha and we have left them home for 9 hours on rare occasions but they have the run of 2 rooms and each other to keep them company. I would do just as you said. I would ask if anyone objects to your taking Gidget and if they do I would politely say I understand and I would stay home. I would tell them I am not offended, that they have the right to not want a dog along but that we are a package - where I go she goes.
