OurPetPolicy

Company Overview

OurPetPolicy was founded in 2021 in Boise, Idaho, by brothers Logan and Cody Miller [The SaaS News]. The company's origin is tied to a specific mission: to establish authenticity in the verification of emotional support animal (ESA) letters, aiming to protect landlords while supporting individuals who genuinely rely on assistance animals [LinkedIn]. The founders brought diverse backgrounds to the venture, with Logan Miller having a public profile as an actor and Cody Miller serving as Co-CEO/General Counsel at Dale Operating Co., a real estate operating company [The New York Times, 2010; Bloomberg, 2026].

The company's primary milestone is its Series A financing, a single disclosed institutional round of $8 million that closed in January 2026 [Preqin, Jan 2026]. The round was led by RET Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on real estate technology, with participation from Capital Eleven and StageDotO [BoiseDev, Jan 2026]. According to the lead investor, the capital is intended to deepen integrations with property management systems, expand the go-to-market team, and enhance product offerings with improved fraud detection and workflow automation [Preqin, Jan 2026].

The Product and the Stack

OurPetPolicy’s core offering is a workflow engine for a specific, high-friction problem in residential property management: the legal and operational handling of pets and assistance animals. The product is positioned not as a general-purpose property management suite, but as a specialized layer that sits atop existing systems to manage risk and enforce policy. Its primary function is to provide landlords and property managers with a standardized, documented process for reviewing and verifying tenant requests for emotional support animals (ESAs) and service animals, a task that carries significant legal liability if mishandled [Software Advice, 2026]. The platform also serves as a central registry for all animals on a property, aiming to identify unauthorized pets and track incidents like bites or property damage [Preqin].

The product surfaces are built around distinct user roles. For property staff, the system provides a dashboard for reviewing ESA documentation, a pet identification and mapping tool to link animals to specific units, and an incident log [Preqin]. For tenants, the company hosts a resident portal where they can submit animal requests, access a “Pet Owner Curriculum” aimed at reducing property damage, and manage their pet profiles [OurPetPolicy, 2026]. The company’s public marketing emphasizes a “lawyer-vetted ESA verification system” designed to filter out fraudulent requests while ensuring compliance with fair housing laws, a claim that forms the basis of its value proposition to property owners [Software Advice, 2026].

• Verification as a service. The most critical module is the ESA reliability review, which subjects tenant-provided documentation to a proprietary screening process. The company states this system helps “greatly reduce fraudulent and unauthorized animals” [LinkedIn].
• Operational tracking. Beyond verification, the platform functions as an animal management database, logging pet details, fees, and any related incidents to create an audit trail for property managers [Preqin].
• Training and resources. The product includes educational components for both property managers, on legal processes, and for tenants, on responsible pet ownership [Software Advice, 2026] [OurPetPolicy, 2026].
