Poor Kia! Yes, it could be the food is bad, or the dogs may have gotten into something causing them all to be sick or could have a GI illness. If she can't keep down water which can quickly lead to dehydration, if she is lethargic, she is vomiting multiple times in a short period of time, and/or is also having diarrhea, then yes take her into an ER vet now. Should she be able to keep down water, isn't lethargic, isn't vomiting multiple times in a row, and doesn't have diarrhea, it's fine to wait until the morning. Best of luck with her, I hope she feels better soon!
