Each additional pet +$20. Up to 5 pets in one Playful Moments portrait.
Hand-lettered by your artist in a style that matches Soft Watercolor Memories.
Best practices for clear, sharp photos:
Close-up: Focus on your pet's face or distinctive features
Lighting: Natural light is best — avoid harsh shadows
Focus: Pet looking at camera preferred, but any angle works
Variety: Multiple angles help us capture their personality
Avoid: Blurry, very dark, distant, or low-resolution photos

The 4 visual stages of a hand-illustrated heirloom.
Day 0 · Your Photo
Phone snap upload
Upload any phone snap — imperfect lighting, motion blur, distracting backgrounds all work. Our artists extract the moment, not the pixels.
Day 1–3 · Concept
Sketch for approval
You receive a pencil sketch from PetSoul — composition, pose, mood, framing. Approve, request changes, or use unlimited free revisions. Nothing moves to color until you say yes.
Day 4–7 · Final Illustration
Hand-illustrated artwork
Our PetSoul artists hand-illustrate the final piece in Soft Watercolor Memories — warm pigment washes, soft edges, signed by your artist in the corner. One last approval before we print + frame.
Day 8–14 · Delivery
Printed, framed, shipped
After your final approval, PetSoul giclée-prints your illustration on archival canvas in your chosen size (8×10 / 12×16 / 18×24 / 24×36), mounts it in your selected pinewood frame (Day 8–9), then ships via standard US carrier (5–7 days transit). Free US shipping over $99 — wall-hanging hardware included.

🕯️ When you're ready
PetSoul takes new memorials when you're ready.
No rush. Begin when you're ready — sketch in 2–3 days, framed memorial on your wall in 14. Or chat with our team first.
Q1My only photo is of the empty spot now — they're already gone. Or my photo is old / grainy. Will it still work?
+
Yes — even photos of the empty spot work. Many families come to us months or years after their pet has passed, with only one photo — sometimes just the chair, the cushion, the windowsill, without the pet in it. Our memorial artists will paint them back into the place using a face shot from any other photo you have (even an old phone snap). If you only have one imperfect photo, that works too.
Q2Can I have more than one pet in the memorial — multi-pet remembrance?
+
Yes — up to 5 pets in one Last Favorite Place memorial. Each additional pet is +$20 (covers extra composition + illustration time). They don't need to have passed at the same time — your memorial artist composites them gently into one reverent scene. Many families use this to honor a sibling pair, or to bring an earlier-passed companion into a more recent goodbye.
Q3What if I don't like the sketch or final illustration?
+
You get two approvals before we print: the pencil sketch (Day 2–3) and the final oil illustration (Day 8–10). At either stage you can request unlimited revisions, free — different pose, lighting, expression, composition. We take extra time on memorials and never pressure a reply.
Happiness Guarantee: Within 14 days of delivery, if your portrait doesn't match what you approved — or arrives damaged in transit — we'll free replacement, your choice. Note: because you sign off twice before printing, refunds aren't issued for "I changed my mind" after approval. Read full policy →
Q4I'd like it for the one-year anniversary / their birthday in heaven. Can you help with timing?
+
Standard delivery is 10–14 days total — we take a little extra time on memorials. For meaningful anniversary dates, add Priority Proof (+$15) to get your first sketch in 24h instead of 2–3 days, which gives you more breathing room on revisions. For dates under 10 days from order, chat with our team first — we'll talk through what's possible without rushing your artist. No pressure on your end.
Q5Do you ship internationally? Any extra fees?
+
Yes — we ship to 38 countries. US orders over $99 ship free; international shipping calculated at checkout (typically $18–$40 depending on size + destination). Buyer responsible for any import duties/VAT — these are usually 10–20% of order value in EU, AU, CA. See full shipping table →

"I cried when I opened the box."
"Biscuit was 4 when we adopted him from a shelter in Eugene. The first thing he did was claim the corner of our sofa — two cushions deep, dent-perfect. He'd spend hours there, watching the birds outside the window. We took the photo on his first snow day — that confused little face with snowflakes on his nose. He was gone six months later, faster than any of us expected. Our PetSoul artist didn't just illustrate a portrait. She caught the soft afternoon light, the exact shade of the blanket he loved, the way his ear flopped sideways when he was almost asleep. I keep it on the wall above where he used to sit. I still can't bring myself to sit there. But now her shape is on the wall instead — exactly where she belongs."

Customers love that the portraits capture their pet's actual personality — not just a generic likeness. Many highlight PetSoul's watercolor texture and the artists' thoughtful approach to picking up subtle details (whisker bends, eye color, fur patterns) from the source photo. The two-stage approval process receives consistent praise for letting buyers refine before printing. A few mention that delivery occasionally runs slightly longer than the 10–14 day window, and one note about damaged-in-transit framing resolved quickly by customer service.
Got the 12×16 framed canvas of Mochi on his sofa pillow. The artist nailed the white spot on his chest — and the soft watercolor texture made the slightly grainy phone photo feel intentional. Hangs in our living room now.

"My wife cried. In a good way."
Anniversary gift. Our cat Pepper passed last year — I sent in a photo from her last summer. The watercolor caught her exact expression. Two-stage approval was reassuring; got to tweak the background before printing.

"Captured Theo's tail curl perfectly."
Our French bulldog Theo always picked the warm corner of the sectional. Our PetSoul artist captured the curl of his tail and the way he tucked one paw under his chin. Best $109 we've spent on art.

"Turned a blurry phone shot into gallery quality."
My photo of Whiskers napping on the cat tree was pretty rough. I wasn't sure it would work. The artist turned it into something gallery-quality — the fur texture is unreal up close.

"Both cavaliers, both personalities."
Multi-pet portrait of Pippa and Bailey. They're sisters but completely different — Pippa is bossy, Bailey is gentle. The artist got both. Pippa even has her little smug face. Worth the +$20.

"Gorgeous artwork, slightly slow shipping."
Took 15 days total — one day past the 10-14 estimate. The collie portrait itself is 5★ — the artist nailed his gentle expression. Knocking one star purely for timing.

"Oak-Tone lighter than I expected."
The Oak-Tone finish is lighter than the website preview suggested — wish there was a darker natural option. The illustration is gorgeous though, the artist's work on my retriever is flawless. Would order again, just go Walnut-Tone next time.

"Two-stage approval saved my order."
First sketch had wrong eye color for my golden Bingo — they're amber, not brown. Flagged it, the artist fixed in 24h. The final piece is more "him" than my actual photos. That approval flow is the difference.

"Beautiful art, frame feels light."
The portrait itself is beautiful — the artist did great work with my photo of Biscuit. But I expected a heavier frame for $109. It feels lighter than other framed canvases I've bought. Still, the art is what matters most, and that's solid.

"Sits in the spot he used to sleep."
Lost our old man Rusty last summer. The portrait sits in the spot where he used to sleep. I cry every time I walk past, but in the best way. The artist understood what we needed without us having to explain it.

"Heavier and nicer than I expected."
Walnut frame is heavier and nicer than the photos suggested. The watercolor catches morning light beautifully on our east-facing wall. The whole apartment feels more "us" with it up there.

"She went silent for 30 seconds. Then cried."
Christmas gift for my wife — black lab portrait of our boy Cooper. She unwrapped it and went silent for 30 seconds. Then she cried. The artwork is just that good.

"Third pet portrait service — first one that didn't feel like a template."
I've ordered from 3 other pet portrait services. This is the first one that didn't feel like a template. The artist's questions about Luna's personality were what set it apart — she actually wanted to know who Luna was, not just what she looked like.

12×16 fits perfectly above our reading nook. The Walnut-Tone frame complements our furniture without trying too hard. Already planning to order another for the bedroom — different pose this time.

"9 days, no Rush upgrade needed."
Lightning fast even without paying for Rush — came in 9 days. The frame is solid pine, feels premium not flimsy. Mini schnauzer portrait turned out exactly how I imagined.
