Step 1 — Your photo upload becomes the foundation for the portrait
Step 1 ~5 min

Tell us your moment.

Pick a Pillar (Everyday · Milestone · Together · Forever), choose your Category & Format (Single Print from $39 or Gallery Wall ×3 from $289), upload 1-3 photos, and tell us about the moment. Story Book launches Phase 2 — join the waitlist.

"The story you write to us is half of what we paint. Tell us the small thing — the way she crouched before she leapt." — Our PetSoul Watercolor specialist
💡 Tip: Photos with clear faces, good light, and pets looking at the camera work best.
Step 2 — Concept sketch from your artist (pencil draft, mood + composition before color)
Step 2 ~2 days

We sketch the soul.

Within 1-2 days, your assigned artist sends a concept sketch — composition, mood, palette — for your approval before they spend time on details.

"I always wait for your concept yes before I touch a brush. If the direction's wrong, we want to fix it now — not after I've spent days on it." — Our PetSoul Oil painting specialist
✓ Why it matters: No wasted time on the wrong direction. You drive every decision from the start.
Step 3 — Final Soft Watercolor illustration, hand-signed by your artist
Step 3 ~3-5 days

You perfect the details.

After concept approval, we paint the full artwork. You'll get a high-res preview and a room mockup. Approve, request tweaks, or escalate. Unlimited revisions, always free.

"Painting is collaboration. Tell me her eyes are too bright, or her ear curls the other way. I'd rather do it twice and get it right." — Our PetSoul Watercolor specialist

Step 4 — Print, frame in Walnut-Tone pinewood, package with care, and ship via tracked carrier
Step 4 ~4-5 days

We print & ship — by hand.

Once you approve, we print on archival giclée canvas, hand-sign, frame in your chosen finish (4 options: Walnut-Tone Espresso · Oak-Tone Natural · Black · White — all sustainably-sourced pinewood), package with care, and ship via tracked carrier. Free US shipping over $99.

"Every artist signs their piece by hand before it leaves the studio. Your portrait deserves more than a sticker." — The PetSoul Studio · Print & Finish
📦 What's inside: Archival print, hand-signed certificate, care guide, and a thank-you note from your artist.
Step 5 — Your portrait hangs on the wall, becoming part of the room's story
Step 5 forever

You hang your story.

Take a photo. Tag #MyPetSoul. We'd love to share it. (And if anything's not right — 30-day Love-It · Replace or refund if your portrait doesn't match approval or arrives damaged.)

"Every piece carries a little of the hands that made it. When you hang it on your wall, that piece of us comes home with you." — Our PetSoul artist

Our PetSoul artist captured exactly how Charlie looked on his first snow day — that confused little face with snowflakes on his nose. I keep it on my desk and it still makes me tear up three months later.

Frequently Asked

Questions we hear most.

How long does it really take?

Most orders deliver in 12-14 days from order to door. Rush orders ship in 5-7 days for an extra fee. Memorial pieces — we work at your pace, no rush.

What if I don't like the concept sketch?

You're never locked in. Request unlimited free revisions at the sketch stage, switch artists, or pause your order. 30-day Love-It guarantee kicks in after delivery — if what arrives doesn't match what you approved or arrives damaged, we'll replace or refund. Note: because you approve twice (sketch + final) before printing, refunds aren't issued for "I changed my mind" after approval. Read full policy →

Can I see the artist's work before ordering?

Yes — visit our Gallery to filter pieces by artist, or read full bios on the About page. Each artist has 200+ verified pieces in their portfolio.

Do you ship internationally?

Phase 1A is US-only. Free US shipping on orders over $99 · Standard $9.95 (5–7 days) · Rush $24.95 (2–3 days). International shipping (UK/EU/CA/AU) launches Phase 1B (Late 2026) — join the waitlist if you're outside the US.

What if my pet has passed away?

We have a dedicated Forever Moment pillar with 3 memorial chapters: Rainbow Bridge (memorial after passing), Senior Love (golden years while still here), Last Favorite Place (honor the spot they left behind). Our memorial-trained PetSoul artists work gently with handwritten note options and extra production time. No rush.

How do I choose a photo if I have many?

Send us 1-3 photos — we'll help pick the best one. See our Photo Tips above for what works. Generally: close-up, well-lit, pet looking at camera, in-focus.
