"I would give my experience 10000/5 stars! I have already recommended your company to another friend. It was a straightforward no gimmicks service, and the doctor was genuinely concerned.

My new rescue cat Marston really appreciates that he is able to live with me now!

How to Get an ESA Letter in Maryland Online

For Maryland residents, the first step to obtaining an ESA letter is to meet with a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) who can work in your state. This clinician will conduct an individualized assessment to determine whether you qualify for an emotional support animal in Maryland.

One of the most convenient ways to meet with a LMHP is through a telehealth platform such as Pettable. By offering online consultations with LMHPs who are authorized to practice in Maryland, we eliminate the hassle of having to travel to your therapist’s office. Instead, you can meet with a licensed mental health professional from the comfort of your own home.Emotional Support Animals in Maryland

Maryland law protects the rights of emotional support animals and their owners. Most importantly, you are legally entitled to have your emotional support animal live with you. All you have to do to exercise this right is to obtain a legitimate ESA letter from a mental health professional.

ESA Laws in Maryland

According to the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), as long as you can provide a valid ESA letter, your landlord must make reasonable accommodations for your emotional support animal to live with you in your residence – even if it is usually a “no pets” property. Your ESA letter also waives any pet deposits, additional fees, and weight or breed restrictions that your housing provider may typically require.

Unlike the right to housing, the right to air travel is not guaranteed for emotional support animals, even if you have a valid ESA letter. Under the revised Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), while service animals must be allowed on all flights, airlines can determine on a case-by-case basis whether or not they will admit emotional support animals. Before making travel plans, ask the airline whether they will accommodate your emotional support animal, and don’t forget to provide your ESA letter. If the airline does not make special allowances for emotional support animals, your companion animal may still be able to fly with you as an ordinary pet. Another option is to train them as a psychiatric service dog (PSD), thus guaranteeing that they will be admitted to the airline cabin with you.

When it comes to other public places (and your workplace), Maryland state law protects service animals, but it does not obligate proprietors or employers to allow emotional support animals. However, it never hurts to show your ESA letter to your boss or the manager of an establishment and see whether they will compromise with you. Otherwise, you'll need to seek out a pet-friendly establishment or leave your emotional support animal at home.

How Do You Qualify for an ESA in Maryland?

To qualify for an emotional support animal, Maryland requires you to have a live appointment (either face-to-face or online) with a licensed mental health professional who can assess your mental or emotional disability. If they determine that you have a disability-related need for an emotional support animal, they will write you an ESA letter to make it official.

I am in California so the law here is a little different with a 30 day period and 2 therapy sessions but it was extremely worth it

January 23, 2025

As California becomes less ESA friendly, this really helped me keep my EAS pets.

Thank you Pettable I appreciate the smooth process and quick response. You guys are awesome.

Very easy thorough process. Kya Miller, LICSW, LCSW was very helpful. I would recommend the services of Pettable to anyone!

What our pet parents are saying

Verified customers. Real reviews.

I had an incredible experience with Pettable. I had just moved and was looking for a new therapist, but knew an ESA would really help me with the transition, so I came to Pettable to get documentation so I didn’t have to wait months to get approval from my landlord to bring a pet home. The process was straightforward, timely, and made me feel so valid in my journey. Now I am raising a puppy and never been happier and healthier! I can’t recommend Pettable enough!

“The process was straightforward, timely, and made me feel so valid in my journey.

My pup provides relief in stressful situations, particularly when I'm away on necessary travel. Pettable was an amazing resource, connecting me with a therapist who listened to my situation and provided advice above and beyond. I could hear Rhiana's compassion over our call and appreciated her patience. Grateful for this service!"
