Treat or food puzzles can help add a little stimulation - you could feed half of her morning meal in a puzzle that she gets in the crate. Some dogs like music - there are songs that dogs respond to in particular that you could play for her. You could also consider hiring someone to take her for a walk mid day if you’re gone for a long time.
