One platform. Every tool your team needs — from 1-click ledger syncs to dynamic legal addendums.
Connect your AppFolio API securely to pull live tenant rosters. No manual data entry—sync units, occupants, and active pet rent charges instantly.
We cross-reference your verified pet roster against your AppFolio rent ledger. Instantly spot tenants who have pets but aren't being billed pet rent.
Upload your property's custom PDF or use our dynamic, FHA-compliant template. We automatically require a digital signature from tenants before verification.
Do you use PooPrints or a similar DNA service? Enforce compliance by requiring residents to submit their DNA Swab ID before their profile is approved.
Fair Housing Act compliant verification. We validate medical provider credentials and automatically track annual ESA letter renewals with 30-day cron alerts.
Force 100% of residents to register. Tenants without animals must sign a digital, legally binding "No Pet Affidavit", protecting you from liability for free.
Emotional Support Animal and Psychiatric Service Dog letters expire — usually annually. Most property managers don't track renewals, leaving them exposed to Fair Housing violations, fraudulent ESA claims, and costly legal disputes.
Total Pet Check solves this automatically. Our daily cron scripts alert tenants 30 days before expiration, keeping you protected.
ESA letters must be issued by a licensed mental health professional and typically must be renewed yearly. Our system tracks every letter's issue date, provider credentials, and expiration — then automatically notifies the tenant to renew before you're out of compliance.
PSD documentation requirements differ from ESAs. We guide tenants through the correct submission process for each animal type, validate documentation against HUD and FHA guidelines, and flag any incomplete or suspicious submissions for your review.
We automatically email official, compliant HUD verification affidavits directly to the tenant's healthcare provider. You get bulletproof legal documentation at absolutely no cost to your team.
A 2023 study found that over 40% of ESA letters submitted to landlords were from unverified or fraudulent providers. Accepting an invalid letter without verification can still expose you to Fair Housing liability. Total Pet Check verifies every letter against licensed provider databases.

Tenants pay a small annual fee to maintain their secure pet records.
"We switched from PetScreening after they raised their tenant fees again. Total Pet Check set us up in a single afternoon and the built-in digital addendum signatures saved us so much paperwork."
"The ESA letter renewal tracker is a game-changer. We had no idea how many expired letters we were sitting on. Now we require DNA swabs for all dogs, and the dashboard tracks it beautifully."
"The AppFolio sync and revenue audit found over $14,000 in 'hidden' pets that weren't being billed on our ledger. And it didn't cost us a dime to use. It literally pays for itself."
A 30-minute call with our team is all it takes to get your community fully onboarded and collecting pet compliance automatically.
