Doggywood - Color Pencil Custom Pet Portraits on Wood - Nationwide
Taking orders for July 2025 but please get in touch should space open. Christmas orders need to be received by September 15th. Gift certificates are available.
Realistic representation of your animal on wood with every detail better than a photo. Why on wood? I have been drawing and painting on wood for over 20 years. Something about the warmth it brings to the portrait and the physical permanence of the piece. Sit on your desk or hang on the wall these portraits don't need expensive framing after paying for the portrait. I completely protect the portrait from moisture and fingerprints and give a walnut stand for display options. I spend 10 hours minimum on each portrait making sure I have captured your animal's personality. 6" x 6" is the most popular size because of the precious way you can display anywhere and easily create an animal family wall but any size is possible!
All animals welcome and their human counter parts upon request!

- Patrice H🎨 About Carly Weaver
Carly Weaver offers custom pet portraits commissioned entirely online and delivered to your door anywhere in the United States. PetWorks is a nationwide pet care services marketplace where pet parents can browse and order from talented independent artists — in any style, shipped to your door. Whether you're looking for a lifelike oil painting, a vibrant watercolor, a charcoal drawing, or a stylized digital illustration, Carly works with you to create a one-of-a-kind portrait that captures your pet's personality, spirit, and the qualities that make them yours.
Ordering with Carly: What to Expect
Commissioning a custom pet portrait with Carly is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins online — 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.
Carly 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, Carly gets to work. Most custom pet portrait 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 your door 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 Carly before ordering, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.
Based in Austin, TX — Shipping Custom Pet Portraits Nationwide
Carly Weaver is based in Austin, Travis County, and accepts custom pet portrait commissions from anywhere in the United States and beyond. The entire process happens online — you upload your photos, correspond through PetWorks, and receive your finished portrait by mail or digital delivery, no matter where you are.
🦔 How to Order from Carly on PetWorks
On Carly Weaver's listing page, use 'Book Now' to initiate a booking offer, or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Send Message' to start a conversation about your portrait. Carly will discuss your vision, preferred style, size, and medium before you commit — because the right fit matters, and taking a few minutes to correspond before ordering 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 an order 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 Custom Pet 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. 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 Carly 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 custom pet portrait artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.
As a general guide, custom 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 Carly's pricing packages above for specific rates.
