Tiffany Dnaka creates breathtaking custom watercolor pet portraits that beautifully capture the essence and personality of your pet. Using a high-quality digital watercolor technique, she transforms a simple photo of your pet into a unique, vibrant work of art.
I personally ordered three portraits from Tiffany—one of my dog, Eddie, and two for my sister’s dogs—and each piece exceeded expectations. When you send your photo, Tiffany will reach out to ensure the portrait is exactly what you envision, paying close attention to every detail. These portraits also make perfect gifts for pet lovers, and a portion of her sales is donated to rescue organizations, adding an extra layer of heart to her beautiful work

Ordering online is a breeze, and with free shipping on orders over $50, it's never been easier to pamper your pup.

Wonder Dog Ranch has been incorporated since 2011. The owners, Brenda and Kevin, have vast experience working with animals. They provide boarding service with 24/7 onsite staff to ensure your dog has the care they need. This is one of the only facilities I have visited that has 24/7 staff onsite. Facilities have rubber floors for play and comfy couches for your dog to relax like they are at home. Private cabins are available if your dog prefers privacy. They use pet-friendly and people-friendly cleaning supplies.
​
The front door is locked at all times to ensure safety of pups. Ring the doorbell and call ahead. They do not do tours for safety and peace of the dogs in care.
​
The sole focus is boarding. They do not do grooming or have a store.

Kim’s dog, Maple, serves as the Chief Bark Officer and the true inspiration behind the brand. I stumbled upon Maple’s Instagram, which led me to discover the magic of Pleione Creative.
Fun Fact: The name Pleione is derived from the Pleiades star cluster, Kim’s favorite constellation. The star Pleione, in the heart of the cluster, is where the name comes from!.
