Pet Portraits by Rebecca - Nationwide
My specialty is realistic custom-painted pet portraits based on your favorite photo. A pet portrait is a unique gift and a wonderful way to remember your precious pet. I'm an artist who works with oil or pastel—whatever suits you and your pet. My most requested portraits are dogs and cats, but I’ve also painted cows, horses, goats, birds, and bunnies. Prices start at just $300, and can be adjusted according to your specific request. You'll receive photos of my progress along the way, and allowed to make changes if needed. It would be a pleasure to help you with a portrait of your own pet!
Pricing Packages
Price varies depending on your requirements. Please contact me before booking. This package is for one head/shoulders custom pastel portrait of one pet on a simple color background. Shipping within the U.S. is included. Pastels have a nice, soft look about them that many customers prefer. You will receive photos of progress and be allowed to request changes along the way. Pastels do require framing under glass. If you need more than one pet, full body pose, or a more complicated background, I'm happy to work with you to get just what you'd like. Please check out my website galleries to see examples: http://petportraitsbyrebecca.com/

- Suzy W🌟 About Rebecca Johnson
Rebecca is a professional pet portrait artist based in Mckinney, TX, serving clients locally and nationwide through PetWorks. With a passion for capturing the personality, energy, and spirit of animal companions, Rebecca creates handcrafted portraits that go far beyond what a photograph can offer — each one a genuine one-of-a-kind work of art, made from your favorite photo and tailored to your exact vision. Rebecca is a recognized and top-rated artist on PetWorks, trusted by pet owners across the country to deliver portraits that are cherished for a lifetime.
What to Expect When Working with Rebecca
Commissioning a portrait with Rebecca is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation — you'll share your favorite photos of your pet, discuss the style and medium that appeals to you, and talk through any specific ideas or requests you have in mind. Rebecca takes the time to understand not just what your pet looks like, but who they are — their character, their quirks, and the qualities that make them yours.
From there, Rebecca gets to work. Most artists on PetWorks share progress photos along the way, giving you the opportunity to provide feedback and request adjustments before the portrait is complete. Once you're happy with the result, your finished portrait is shipped directly to you or delivered as a digital file — depending on the medium and your preference. Most portraits are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Rebecca before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.
🦔 How to Book Rebecca on PetWorks
On Rebecca Johnson's listing page, use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' to start a conversation about your commission. Rebecca will discuss your vision, answer any questions, and send you a personalized quote through the PetWorks inbox — because the right artist fit matters, and taking a few minutes to correspond before committing is always worth it.
When you're ready, payment is handled securely through PetWorks — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Affirm, Link, or Klarna. Care Coverage at checkout gives you access to PetWorks' live Concierge team, full refunds if a booking is canceled through no fault of yours, and help resolving any issues along the way — so you can focus on your portrait with complete peace of mind.
Tips for a Great Portrait
Getting the most out of your commission starts with good reference photos. Clear, well-lit shots taken at your pet's eye level work best — natural light is your friend, and flash-heavy photos tend to flatten features and wash out color. Capture a few different expressions and angles if you can: a close-up of the face, a relaxed resting shot, and a playful or characteristic pose gives your artist the most to work with.
Beyond photos, the more you can share about your pet's personality the better. Is your dog goofy and energetic, or calm and dignified? Does your cat have a signature expression? The small details you share help Rebecca bring genuine character to the portrait rather than simply reproducing a likeness. If you have a specific style, background, or size in mind, mention it upfront — most artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.
As a general guide, pet portrait commissions in the US typically range from $75–$200 for small portraits, $200–$500 for medium, and $500–$1,200 or more for large or multi-pet works. Browse Rebecca's pricing packages above for specific rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started with Rebecca? Use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' buttons on this page to reach out directly. Rebecca will respond through the PetWorks inbox to discuss your vision, review your photos, and provide a personalized quote before you commit to booking.
Can Rebecca paint multiple pets in one portrait? Many PetWorks artists offer multi-pet compositions — reach out to Rebecca directly to discuss your specific request. Multi-pet portraits may carry additional fees depending on the number of subjects and complexity of the arrangement.
What if my pet has passed away? Memorial portraits are one of the most meaningful commissions you can make. Rebecca works entirely from photos, so a passing doesn't prevent a beautiful, lifelike result. Many PetWorks artists have extensive experience with memorial work and approach it with particular care and sensitivity.
Does Rebecca ship nationwide? Yes — all orders through PetWorks are handled entirely online. You upload your photos, correspond through the platform, and receive your finished portrait by mail or digital delivery regardless of where you are in the country.
What if I'm not happy with the result? PetWorks' Care Coverage gives you access to the live Concierge team and help resolving any booking issues.
