We crate our during the day. They are still pretty young and while they are 90-99% potty trained they are not 90-99% house broken, meaning they still chew on things when we're not watching and can get into trouble.
At least one of us goes home at lunch. We let them out to potty and to play for 20-45 minutes depending on our work schedule for the day. They aren't crated for more than 4-5 hours at a time and we haven't had any in creat accidents since the 2nd week we got them.
I think as far as letting them out it's more about how much you trust them in the house than anything.
I hope it goes well for you! Goodluck!
