Help -- Puppy issues

My dog is almost a year old. She has done AWESOME with her house breaking and knows not to go anywhere inside my apt.

Up until recently she had a smaller "house" (crate) because she was a lot smaller when I first got her.

I have recently (2 wks ago) moved her to a slightly bigger crate, because it gives her room to get up and turn around and lets her lay more comfortably. I hate leaving her all crated up when I'm at work, but she will get into EVERYTHING if I don't (I've tried )

She recognizes that this new crate is her house. She stores her favorite toys in there, and sleeps in there even when I don't have the door closed.

My problem is that recently she is havng issues holding her bladder when I'm at work so I clean it out every day (I even use the enzyme spray).

Last night she went in the middle of the night- which she has never done before - and didn't even bark or anything to let me know she wanted out of her house.

What am I doing wrong?

I don't want to put her back in her old house because I know that she won't go potty during the day, but it can't be comfortable for her because she can't stand up and move around like she used to when she was smaller.

I considered hiring someone I knew & trusted to come during lunch to let her out, but everyone I know & trust already has a daytime job that isn't close to my apartment.

Please help!
