I'd start with short periods of time and work up to leaving her out all day. With Bentley, I initially started with letting him hang out when I went out to grab the mail. Then to when I went to the grocery store or to run a quick, close errand. Gradually, I worked up to being able to trust him for 6 hours, then 7, then 8. He's good now. I don't crate him at all except if there's going to be delivery guys here. He spends his free time in his crate anyway, even if I don't force him in it.
