"My landlord waived everything that same day."

Jessica M. with her dog Bailey at home in Austin, TX

"My building wouldn't allow pit bulls and wanted a $500 deposit plus $75/month pet rent. I sent my ESA letter and the leasing office waived everything that same day. Bailey and I have been here a year now."

Our promise to you

Not approved? You don’t pay.

If a state-licensed clinician determines an ESA isn’t clinically appropriate for your condition, you get a full refund of the evaluation fee. No questions, no hoops, no fine print.

Money Back Guarantee, Our Promise
Common questions

Everything you need to know

Yes. Once you complete your assessment and a state-licensed clinician approves your letter, we deliver in 4 hours. Submit before 12pm ET on a business day for the fastest turnaround.

Under the federal Fair Housing Act, qualified ESA owners are entitled to live with their emotional support animal in most housing, including buildings with no-pet policies, without pet fees, deposits, or breed and weight restrictions. Every letter is FHA-compliant and signed by a state-licensed clinician with their license number.

You get a full refund. The money-back guarantee covers the clinical evaluation: if a state-licensed clinician determines, based on your evaluation, that an emotional support animal is not appropriate for your condition, you will receive a full refund.

Add Landlord Rejection Protection at checkout for $30. It covers refund support and acceptance escalation if a landlord unlawfully rejects a properly issued ESA letter.

If you qualify for our ESA Plus plan, your dog can also qualify as a Psychiatric Service Dog under the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA). That means flying in-cabin at no additional charge, no carrier required, no breed bans.
