cell phone as WiFi for smart t-stat?

So, We were contemplating bringing our dog with us on this trip. the only reason we never have is we worry about power outages and the A/C going off. So I got to thinking of installing a smart T-stat and leaving my cell phone behind as a hot spot that the T-stat will be connected to. has anyone done this? if so how well does it work.

We have a smart T-stat in our house and I can set it up to give me a warning of huge temp fluctuations or it will even tell me if the power went out. Just thinking out loud here. I know I would need good cell service, which we will be in Jersey City and then in Cape May so service should be good.

What does everyone think, and BTW, we have never take our dog on long trips, but my FIL is getting older and its not as easy for him to watch the dog.
