Eeck, it's actually 9 hours. Like others have said, a kennel isn't a good option. If you can confine her to some uncarpeted area like a kitchen or a bathroom that should be ok. You can put her kennel in there too and you'll also need a puppy pad and maybe read up on housetraining with them.
If you can not make an arrangement for someone to be home during the day that this may be your best option. Personally, I don't think even an adult dog should be left alone for 9 hours.
