Would this work?

Not likely because the dog would need constant supervision. There are too many people who don't own dogs or have never handled them that will try to feed them human foods as treats and there are a lot of seemingly harmless things that are very toxic to animals.
The HM's can't be bothered to clean up after themselves much less for a dog. They wouldn't be careful enough about leaving food or other hazards lying around that the dog could pick up and eat.
Many dogs don't react well to strange environments, situations. They rely on the leader of the path aka a human alpha for their sense of comfort and security. The dog may be very well mannered before entering the house, but a lot of dogs may start pooping/peeing/marking on the carpet from the stress alone. Some can become more aggressive in that situation. All it would take is for HM's to have a loud row for the dog to become anxious and maybe bite someone. To (mostly) stabilize the dog, the owner would have to be there and likely they would have to receive special treatment.
That's just some of the issues I can see with it but there would be a lot of variables they would have to control and probably have an on-site vet 24/7. Not to mention all the animal right's groups that will no doubt have a bone to pick (pun intended) about every task production decides to use the dog in
