Pet Photography — Starting at $150
Sessions begin at $150 which includes personalized planning, gentle handling, and a calm, pet-first approach. Each session focuses on capturing your pet’s true personality—not forced poses. You’ll receive beautifully edited, high-resolution images that tell your pet’s story with authenticity and heart. Session length and final pricing may vary depending on location, number of pets, and creative needs.
What makes this unique: you’re working with a photographer who is also a professional pet care provider—so your pet’s safety, stress levels, and emotional comfort always come first.
Animal Care Services
Dog Walks — Starting at $25
Each walk is designed to support your dog’s physical and emotional wellbeing. Walks typically range from 20–30 minutes and include safe leash handling, potty breaks, enrichment through sniffing and exploration, fresh water refills, and updates with photos or notes afterward. These aren’t rushed walks—your dog gets dedicated, unrushed time and care.
Drop-In Visits — Starting at $35
Perfect for pets who need feeding, medication, potty breaks, playtime, or companionship while you’re away. Drop-ins typically last 30–45 minutes and are fully customized to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s a shy cat, a senior pet, or a high-energy pup, care is always tailored with patience and intention.
Overnight Care — Starting at $70 per night
Overnights provide in-home comfort, consistency, and emotional reassurance for your pet while you’re away. This includes evening and morning routines, feeding, potty breaks, medications if needed, and overnight companionship. Ideal for pets who do best staying in their familiar environment with one-on-one care.
Grooming & Baths — Starting at $40
Dog baths start at $40 and are priced based on your dog’s size, coat type, condition, and handling needs. Every bath includes a gentle cleanse, brush-out, towel or low-noise drying, and lots of patience and reassurance. Senior dogs, anxious pups, and first-time bathers are always given extra time and care.
This isn’t a rushed assembly-line groom—this is calm, comfort-focused grooming for dogs and cats who deserve to feel safe.
What to Expect:
Booking & Consultation
Once you confirm your session, I’ll send a short questionnaire to learn more about your pet— their personality, quirks, and the services you are looking for. We’ll also go over location ideas and your vision for the experience.
The Session or Service
Each session is calm, customized, and paced with your pet in mind. There will be treats, patience, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe and seen— whether they’re full of zoomies or a little more reserved.
After the Services Complete
Within 2-3 weeks, you’ll receive an email asking about your experience and a testimonial for future pet parents.
For Photoshoots you’ll receive a private online gallery with fully edited images. From there, you can choose your favorites, order prints, and keepsakes.

Hi, I’m Steph — the heart behind Velvet Paw Studios, based in Hennepin County, MN.
Velvet Paw was created from a deep belief that our animals are more than companions — they are family, teachers, and quiet anchors in our lives. With years of hands-on experience across pet care, grooming, and animal handling, I now offer gentle pet sitting, calm grooming, mindful walks, and soulful photography—all centered on your pet’s comfort, safety, and individuality.
Every service is rooted in patience, presence, and trust. This is a space where animals are treated with tenderness, and the love you share with them is seen, respected, and beautifully held. 🤍
