Because Fur Babies Are Family

How to Commission a Custom Portrait of Your Pet

Please enter your email address and describe what you’d like in the message box, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. I’ll need at least 2–3 clear photos of your pet. Pricing depends on whether you choose a drawing or a painting, the size, and any extra details. Once we’ve discussed what you want and what I can do based on your photos, I’ll provide a custom quote. A minimum, non‑refundable deposit of $100 (USD) is required before I start your artwork, and this will be applied to the final price. I currently ship within the United States only. Shipping costs will be added to your total and must be paid before your artwork is shipped. The remaining balance is due in full before shipping. I will send pictures of the final art for your approval and before final billing and shipping. Framing is not included.

After submitting this form, you’ll receive a confirmation email from me. You can reply to that email and attach your reference photos.

About Doodle's Dreams Crafts

My name is Laura Roy, and I have a B.A. in Studio Art from Webster University in St. Louis, MO. I’ve always loved drawing, sewing, and making things with my hands, and now I pour that creativity into handmade pet accessories and custom artwork. My Labrador retriever, Bailey, is my favorite model and proudly wears my reversible bandanas and bows. I also create custom pet portraits in pencil, colored pencil, or acrylic paint on canvas, all made from your favorite photos.
