Customer photo of Bear's book

It actually captured Bear's personality

I was honestly skeptical. Uploaded 5 photos of Bear (golden retriever, 4yo) and the book that came back was so much better than I expected. They wrote about how he stops at every doorway before he goes through, which is a thing he actually does and I didn't know how they got that. Got the hardcover and it's gorgeous. The little message on the back made me cry. Already planning one for my mom's cat for her birthday. 5 stars no question.

The line on the back made me cry

Uploaded photos of Maple (Maine Coon, the most dramatic creature alive) and the book reads like someone profiled her for a magazine. She has been the cover model of my apartment for nine years and now she is also the cover model of an actual book. The dedication line "for the small queen who chose us" is what I asked for and seeing it on the back genuinely made me cry. Shipping took 8 days to Melbourne which felt long but worth waiting.

Customer photo of Sully's book

We are so glad we made this

My partner and I made a keepsake for our shepherd Sully who is fifteen and still with us. The Keepsake reads like a love letter written in the present. He is in the book exactly as he is now. The hardcover is heavy and beautifully bound. We have it on the shelf next to the dog beds and it has become the book we both reach for when we want to feel close to him.

Customer photo of Otis's book

Better than I expected

Bought this for my wife after our lab Otis turned ten. I was sceptical (AI generated books?) but the book is genuinely well made. Paper is heavy, hardcover feels like a real book. The writing surprised me, they captured the way he sleeps in patches of sun which is oddly specific. Wife was a mess for about an hour after she opened it. Worth it.

Customer photo of Tomato's book

ok this is so much better than i thought

i was on the fence about this for weeks before pulling the trigger. one of those things that lives in your wishlist tab forever. anyway finally ordered it for my cat tomato (tortie, 3yo, a literal demon) and the book is unreasonably good. they nailed her exact "i hate everyone except you" energy. one note, the wait between ordering and delivery was about 6 days and i was anxious checking my email the whole time. but the book itself is a 10.

Customer photo of Casper's book

For our 13 year old. PRO TIP at the bottom.

Casper is thirteen and we wanted to write down all the small things while he's here. The Keepsake asks really good questions you wouldn't think to answer. The softcover sits on the side table now.PRO TIP. TAKE YOUR TIME ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS. I rushed through the first one and the book came out fine but then I redid it slower with my husband and the second version was so much better. Believe me it is worth it.

Customer photo of Pip's book

Not sure but actually really good

Got this for my partner who is borderline obsessed with our border collie Pip. Was nervous about the AI angle being weird or generic but the writing is genuinely thoughtful. There's a chapter where they wrote about him checking the perimeter of the yard and it's the most accurate description of his personality I have ever read. Hardcover is heavy, print quality is really good. Tiny note, the font on the back cover message is fixed, would have liked to pick something different but I am nitpicking, it's already gorgeous. 4 stars instead of 5 only for that.

Three to five is plenty. Variety in angles, light, and moods matters more than studio quality. The candid ones often make the best pages.

Always. You confirm a character sheet, then preview the first chapter free. Nothing is printed until you approve the full book.

Yes. The Keepsake's present-tense voice works equally for a companion who is aging and one you are remembering. It is reflective, written with warmth.

Printed books are made to order and ship free worldwide. You'll see an estimated arrival window at checkout based on your destination.
