Every letter includes the same care
The price changes with the number of animals and the type of letter. What you get from the evaluation does not.
- An evaluation by a mental health professional licensed in your state
- A signed, dated letter on the clinician's letterhead with their license number
- Landlord verification of your letter at no charge
- A full refund if your clinician does not issue a letter
- Support in English or Spanish, by email or phone
- Secure checkout through Stripe, with no subscription and no hidden fees
Our refund promise, in one sentence
If your clinician does not issue a letter, for any clinical reason, we refund every dollar to the card you paid with.
You never pay for a letter you did not receive. We issue the refund as soon as the clinician closes your file. You do not have to ask, argue or fill in a form. Card refunds usually appear within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your bank.
Two situations are different, and we would rather say so now. If you stop responding before your evaluation and do not reply within 30 days, or if you ask for a refund after your letter has been issued and delivered, the evaluation has already been done. Our refund policy explains every case in plain words.
What you will not pay for here
Across the ESA letter market, a $99 headline can turn into $250 at checkout. These are the extras we do not sell.
| Common add on elsewhere | At GetPetESA |
|---|---|
| Rush or 24 hour delivery fee | Not offered. Timing depends on your evaluation and your state's rules, not on a fee. |
| ESA registration, ID card or certificate | Not offered. No official registry exists, and Florida, Iowa and Montana law say registrations do not count. |
| Extra charge per additional pet | Two or three animals are covered in one letter for $129. |
| Monthly membership or automatic renewal | Not offered. You renew only if and when you choose to. |
| Fee for the landlord to verify the letter | Free, for you and for your landlord. |
| Travel letter for flying with an ESA | Not offered, because airlines may treat ESAs as pets. |
Is an ESA letter worth the cost?
For most people the real value is simple: keeping the animal that helps them, in the home they want. That is hard to put a number on.
There can be a financial side too. Pet rent in many cities runs $25 to $75 a month, and pet deposits commonly run a few hundred dollars. In states whose laws bar those charges for assistance animals, such as Kentucky, Virginia, Utah, Minnesota and Indiana, a letter that supports your accommodation can save more than its price in the first year. In other states, fee waivers are now contested after HUD's 2025 and 2026 changes, so we never promise them. Our fees and deposits guide covers each state.
What a letter never does is protect you from paying for actual damage. That stays your responsibility, as it should.
Which plan should you choose?
Most people need one ESA letter. If you are unsure, the assessment asks a few questions and suggests the right plan before you pay.
- One dog, cat or other animal at home: ESA letter, one pet, $99.
- Two or three animals that help you: ESA letter, two or three pets, $129. Each animal is named.
- A dog trained to perform tasks for a psychiatric condition: PSD letter, $119.
- A trained service dog plus another animal at home, or a dog still in training: ESA and PSD letters, $169.
- A letter from any provider that is close to a year old: annual renewal, $79.
Pricing questions
When do I pay?
After the free assessment. You see your plan and its price at the end, then pay through Stripe. Nothing is charged before that, and there is no account to create.
How do I pay?
By debit or credit card, and by Apple Pay or Google Pay on supported devices, through Stripe. You can also split the payment over time with Klarna, Afterpay or Affirm where eligible. We never see or store your card number.
What if I do not qualify?
You receive a full refund to the card you used as soon as your clinician closes the file, without having to ask. Refunds usually show within 5 to 10 business days depending on your bank.
Is the price different in Spanish?
No. Every plan costs exactly the same in English and Spanish, and the Spanish site shows the same prices.
Do I have to renew every year?
Federal law does not set an expiration date, but many landlords ask for a letter from the past year, and Arkansas requires yearly re-evaluation. Renewal costs $79 and is never automatic.
Do you offer discounts?
Our prices are already set low enough that we do not run coupons or countdown timers. The price you see is the price everyone pays.
