Aunties Dog Care (501c3 nonprofit)

Receive professional dog care from a nonprofit that operates with immense love and dedication. Aunties Dog Care is an innovative social impact organization that offers the only full-service commercial dog care services operating as a nonprofit in America!

All our dog care services' profits pay for overhead expenses to ensure that 100% of donated funds go towards our two nonprofit programs. These programs include the Frontline Worker Support Fund for healthcare workers fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Emotional Guide Dog Education program. The latter offers training programs that improve the emotional bond between traumatized humans and canines.

By entrusting your furry loved ones to Aunties, you'll also support complex trauma survivors in your community. Moreover, our team is composed of certified pet care professionals adept in Red Cross Dog & Cat First Aid, and the Fear Free Pet Professional program designed for anxious dogs and cats.

We're proud members of the National Association of Pet Sitters and Pet Sitters International.

At Aunties, we adhere to strict infectious disease control measures to ensure the health and safety of pets and their humans. For instance, we require all PlayCare and Sleepover guests to provide current vaccination documentation of all necessary shots required by the City of Chicago. Additionally, they must have undergone flea and tick controls and be free of all infectious diseases.

Given the Covid-19 pandemic, our staff always wears NIOSH-certified N95 ventilator masks while in customers' homes. We're also fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and keep up-to-date on boosters. Lastly, we prohibit the humans of PlayCare and Sleepover guests from entering an Aunty's home, although we can provide video tours upon request.

Please note that Aunties Dog Care is a division of Complex Trauma Project, a tax-exempt 501c3 nonprofit that incubates and launches social impact organizations nationwide, supporting trauma survivors.
