I want to be very clear: using Pettable.com for an ESA letter was a mistake, and it’s one I’m still dealing with the consequences of. In 2026, landlords are not naïve about online ESA services anymore, and Pettable’s process felt completely unprepared for that reality.
From the outside, Pettable looks polished and legitimate. That’s exactly what makes it dangerous. Once you pay, you quickly realize the service is designed for volume, not for people whose housing stability actually depends on the letter. The “evaluation” felt rushed, impersonal, and borderline meaningless. There was no sense that a provider truly understood my situation or would stand behind the letter if it were questioned.
The ESA letter itself was a huge red flag. It looked generic, templated, and indistinguishable from something that could have been mass-generated. Nothing about it inspired confidence. Instead of feeling protected, I felt exposed—like I was handing my landlord a document that would invite scrutiny rather than prevent it.
Support after payment was especially frustrating. Before I paid, Pettable was responsive and reassuring. Afterward, responses became slow, vague, and evasive. When I asked direct questions—what happens if a landlord challenges the letter, whether revisions are possible, or how they support tenants in disputes—I got non-answers. It became clear they were not interested in accountability once the transaction was complete.
What bothers me most is the disconnect between Pettable’s glowing online reputation and the reality of the service. The reviews make it seem safe, reliable, and landlord-proof. My experience was the opposite. The process felt hollow, and the end result left me more anxious than before I started.
In 2026, ESA letters are not just paperwork—they’re scrutinized documents that can determine whether you keep your housing. Pettable operates like it’s still 2018, when landlords didn’t question these services. That mismatch alone makes them risky.
If your housing situation actually matters, avoid Pettable.com. Speed and slick marketing don’t help when a landlord starts asking questions. I regret using them, I wouldn’t trust them again, and I strongly recommend finding a licensed mental health professional who provides real care and ongoing support instead of a one-click letter mill.
