Seems good to me. Nice size for your dog.
Just an aside: I never left food in the crate with my boys and rarely left water - didn't want them to eat/drink it all out of boredom early in their stay and be left crossing their legs. If I was going to be gone over 4 hours I'd leave a bit of water in a crate bowl (mounts on side of crate so can't be tipped.)

Do you have Jetta's crate beside your bed? It may help to do so, that way, if she cries, you can reach down and touch her through the crate.
You can probably tell the difference between her "poor little me let me outta hear' cry and the 'I gotta go NOW' cry.
Maybe just being near you will help her settle. Give it time but be CONSISTANT. If you let her out once or twice for crying, she will not only continue to cry, but will escalate the crying until you give in.
