If you would like to commission a portrait - there is a non - refundable 50.00 consultation fee. This will be applied, however, to the final cost of your portrait should you decide to place a commission. There are many factors that will go into getting the right photograph in order to fully capture the personality of your beloved pet. I will work with you to make sure that we have exactly what is needed to do so - as well as discussing and selecting the correct size. Prior to starting your pet's portrait - a deposit ( half down ) will be required. Should the final painting does not capture the essence of your dog, you are no obligation to purchase it. At that time your deposit would be refunded in full. Please note - I take great care to provide a true likeness and am happy to say that I have never had a client request this. : )
Please check out the video to see why these portraits are so unique and will be a cherished keepsake of your beloved pet. Your questions are welcomed with the goal being to make the process of commissioning a portrait fun, easy and exciting for clients. Thank you for your interest. ~

🌟 About Jennie Griffith
Jennie is a professional pet portrait artist based in Boston, MA, serving clients locally and nationwide through PetWorks. With a passion for capturing the personality, energy, and spirit of animal companions, Jennie 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. Jennie 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 Jennie
Commissioning a portrait with Jennie 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. Jennie 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, Jennie 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 Jennie before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.
🦔 How to Book Jennie on PetWorks
On Jennie Griffith's listing page, use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' to start a conversation about your commission. Jennie 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 Jennie 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 Jennie 's pricing packages above for specific rates.

What if my pet has passed away? Memorial portraits are one of the most meaningful commissions you can make.

Many PetWorks artists have extensive experience with memorial work and approach it with particular care and sensitivity.
Does Jennie 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.
