I spend the winter in Arizona, and like this winter just past, I sometimes leave my Schipperke in the camper for several hours at a time.
What I do is leave the roof vent open, and a couple of windows slightly open. I leave a regular 12" table fan on the floor running. Then I turn on the air conditioner. Idea being, it's cool with the air on, but in case the power fails, then there is still ventilation.
Most important, I make friends with the neighbors there, and as it turned out like this past winter, we took turns looking after each other's dogs. We all just left our campers unlocked so if someone needs to get in to rescue a dog or cat, they can easily do so.
I was parked for over a week in Oklahoma City at a CG last summer ( August ) while at a horse show. I specifically asked for, and got a site there where my trailer was in the shade of some large trees most of the day. That made me feel a little better about leaving for several hours at a time. It was good though that I was only 10 minutes away, so I would go back every few hours to check on the dog and walk her. As it turned out, it was a non-issue, as the A/C ran the entire time just fine.
EDIT: at the resort where I stay in Arizona, there is a lady that lives there that does "dog sitting/walking" for hire, so that could be an option too.
EDIT 2: we also shared phone numbers among each other so if need be we were just a phone call away.
