こんにちは! I have read a text about a guy whose wife has a housedust allergie, and
there is this sentence: 私だってあんまりほこりがたまっていたら気になるから、仕方がないと思ってやっているんだ。 What does
思ってやって mean here?

What does 思ってやっている mean?
This やる is a simple verb meaning "to do". やっているんだ is "(It's that) I'm doing
it", where this `'it'` refers to the thing this guy is doing. (It's not
mentioned in your question, so see the previous context by yourself.) And
仕方がないと思って is modifying やっている [like an
adverb](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/38769/5010).

> 「仕方がない」と思ってやっているんだ。  
>  (literally) Thinking "it cannot be helped", I'm doing it.  
>  I'm (reluctantly) doing this because I know it's unavoidable.
