I’m writing this because using Pettable.com for an ESA letter turned out to be a serious mistake one that put my housing stability at risk. If you’re considering this service in 2026, understand that ESA letters are no longer rubber-stamped by landlords, and Pettable is not prepared for that reality.
Pettable presents itself as professional, compassionate, and legally sound. In practice, it felt like a streamlined operation built for volume, not care or credibility. The entire process was rushed, impersonal, and alarmingly shallow. There was no meaningful conversation about my mental health, no exploration of my history, and no sense that anyone involved would be willing to stand behind the documentation they issued.
The “evaluation” barely qualifies as one. It felt like a procedural hurdle designed to justify generating a letter, not a legitimate assessment. At no point did I feel supported or taken seriously as a patient. It was clear that the goal was to move me through the system as quickly as possible.
The ESA letter itself was the biggest red flag. It was generic, templated, and minimally customized. In 2026, landlords know exactly what mass-produced ESA letters look like and this was one of them. Instead of offering protection, it drew unwanted scrutiny and skepticism. Relying on it felt risky from the moment I saw it.
Support after payment was practically nonexistent. Before paying, responses were prompt and reassuring. Afterward, communication slowed to a crawl. When I asked direct questions about landlord verification, challenges, or revisions, I received vague responses that avoided accountability. There was no clear policy, no advocacy, and no willingness to engage once money had changed hands.
What’s especially troubling is how misleading Pettable’s reputation is. The abundance of glowing reviews gives a false sense of security, particularly to people who are already stressed and vulnerable about their housing. That confidence evaporates the moment the letter is questioned. When you actually need support, Pettable is nowhere to be found.
ESA letters today carry real consequences. Landlords scrutinize them closely, and weak documentation can backfire badly. Pettable operates as if the landscape hasn’t changed, and that disconnect leaves tenants exposed. This isn’t just inconvenient it’s dangerous.
My takeaway: Pettable.com sells convenience, not protection. If your housing situation depends on having a solid, defensible ESA letter, this service is a gamble I would strongly advise against. I regret trusting them and am still dealing with the consequences. Learn from my experience and work directly with a licensed mental health professional who provides real evaluations and real support because Pettable will not be there when it matters.
