"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!

"They are five stars all the way! The site helped set me up with a professional therapist, who is licensed in my state. It was very easy to setup calls or opportunities to communicate with them that worked for both of us.
Most of all they allowed me to keep my cats Mew and Espurr. “
Our appointment was kept as scheduled. She was friendly and helpful. Made it easy. She answered all questions and concerns. Excellent service. We will definitely use this service again for our renewal next year. Thank you for providing our certificates.
Using Pettable was a waste of my time and money. I was referred to them by my step-sister. Initially, things seemed promising because the therapist, Jessica, genuinely tried to help and was diligent in her efforts. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned. My apartment complex rejected the letter, suspecting it wasn't legitimate and labeling it as something I simply paid for. Despite Jessica's registered status in states such as Maryland, Virginia, and Texas, and her considerable efforts to advocate on my behalf, my complex remained unyielding. They wouldn't accept any evidence provided, so I had to resume therapy sessions, costing me an additional $50 each time just to keep my dogs with me. It wasn't Pettable's fault. It was a lot and nerve-wracking and confusing. And when your anxiety is triggered and you're up, there's no way to easily deal with it.
Dr ** and the whole team was very great. Really good experience. Was an easy process and helped with everything I needed. Whenever I needed help it would get done really quickly without fail. I am definitely lucky to have found Pettable. This is my second time using this service and I will definitely be coming back.
I found Pettable 1 year ago and after reading reviews and researching other companies, I landed with Pettable. I needed the ESA letter for new housing. The process was easy going, straightforward and personal. I am so thankful for Pettable and the assurance that my dogs can stay with me and they also are safe. I have already recommended Pettable to my brother and he also had a great experience!
If you have a support pet, you need Pettable. I couldn’t be happier with the services I have received. I have been with Pettable for two years now. The process of getting an ESA letter and renew is simple and easy. They are very responsive and know what they are doing.
From beginning to end, the process of obtaining the documentation I needed to satisfy my landlord’s requirements was simple and clear to follow. The turnaround time in receiving what I needed after the consultation was extraordinarily fast as well. All in all a great experience and I’ll definitely be back as needed. Thank you!!
I had so much anxiety due to strict weight restrictions. I was going to have to give away one of my beloved dogs that help me through so much. The costs $1,000 plus $760 per year outrageous. You helped! Thank you. Great, licensed professionals, extremely responsive when I needed to reschedule. I have so much gratitude.
Everyone was helpful in many ways. They are all truly professional and worked in a timely fashion to address my needs and concerns. This was for the renewal of my ESA certification. I didn't have the full fee available when my previous letter was about to expire because of a change in my pay schedule, but the representatives were willing to work with me as long as I scheduled my interview by the end of the month. I did so and it was smooth sailing from there. I would recommend Pettable to everyone in need of such services.
The procedure to request an Emotional Support Animal letter was very easy, namely an online questionnaire and a telephone consultation with a person qualified to assess the need for the ESA letter. The letter arrived within 48 hours. It has been submitted to the management here and I have not been notified of any problems. I hope this means it has been accepted.
Have a second consultation after 30 days.
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.
