Piri & Co, a Sydney pet portrait studio

Hi, we're Perry and Rod. Piri & Co is our little Sydney pet portrait studio, started because the dogs and cats in our lives gave us more joy than any photo on a phone could hold. So we began putting them on walls. Now we do the same for pet owners all over Australia.

Perry Thomas and Rod Acevedo, founders of Piri & Co

Every portrait passes through our hands

Behind every order is Perry or Rod. We look at every photo you send and every portrait before it goes out, the same way we'd want our own pets treated.

Not quite them? We'll make it right

If an ear sits wrong or a favourite marking is missing, just tell us. We'll keep going until it feels like them.

Why Piri & Co

A name with roots in New Zealand

Piri & Co is Perry and Rod squished into one word, but it means more than that to us. Piri is te reo Māori for staying close, for keeping the people you love near you. It's a nod to our roots in Aotearoa New Zealand and to the way we were raised: family close, home open, pets on the couch. If you've ever had a dog follow you from room to room, or a cat land on your lap the moment you sit down, you already know what piri feels like. That closeness is what we try to paint into every custom pet portrait.

It looks like your pet, not a generic one

The head tilt, the one floppy ear, the cheeky grin. We keep the little things that make your dog or cat yours.

Looked over by people who love pets

Every portrait is reviewed by Perry or Rod before you see it. If it isn't right, it doesn't go out.

Your phone photos are perfect

No studio shoot, no fancy camera. A clear snap from your camera roll is all we need to start.

How it Works

From your phone to your wall in a few days

Upload a photo of your pet. We turn it into a portrait in our signature brush-stroke style, check it by hand, and send it to you to approve. You get the digital pet portrait straight away, and we can print and ship it anywhere in Australia if you want it on the wall.

Start your pet portrait
Made in Sydney, Australia

A small Australian pet portrait business, on purpose

Piri & Co is just the two of us, working from home in Sydney with our own pets underfoot. When you order a custom pet portrait, you're dealing with Perry and Rod, not a call centre. Have a question about your order? You'll hear back from one of us, usually the same day.
