My 3 month old border collie pup has all the symptoms of a uti (except blood and fever). Can I wait until tomorrow to take her to her vet or should I take her to the emergency vet today?

This depends. If Pixie appears otherwise healthy and happy, eats and drinks plenty, you can wait until Monday morning. If she appears lethargic, ill or distressed, or if the urine appears very bloody, then she should be seen by a vet ASAP. Feed her wet/canned food, add water to it, and make sure she drinks a lot of water to help flush the bladder. I hope this helps!
