Get to Know Us!

A Lil' R + R is what happens when an illustrator with five dogs opens a boutique.

A Lil R + R, named lovingly after the owners' dogs, Rocky and Ringo, is a dog-friendly boutique in Raleigh’s North Hills, created for people who believe life is better with a little rest, relaxation, and a lot of dogs.

Founded by illustrator and product designer Emily Petrilla, the shop blends original art, playful gifts, cozy apparel (hello the comfiest sweatshirts!), and thoughtfully curated goods for dog lovers (and the humans who love them). You’ll find sassy illustrations, handmade goods from local artists and crafters, a self-serve 'Barkuterie' bar for your pup, dog toys + chew bar, unique jewelry, and the kind of items that make you say, “wait… I need that.”

We also host adoption events (puppy parties!!!), doggie photoshoots, creative nights, and community gatherings because we believe shopping should feel warm, welcoming, and just a little bit magical.

Come hang out. Bring your dog. Stay awhile.

Hugs and dog kisses,

Emily + Joe (+ Ringo the disco ball!)

Because life’s better with good design, good dogs, and a little r + r.
