What is Animal Communication? An intuitive, heart‑based way of understanding an animal’s thoughts, feelings, and needs—whether they’re living or are in spirit (passed away). It offers clarity, comfort, and a deeper connection when you need it most.

~ Cheryl Hertes Cowling
What to Expect from a Session with Lolita…
I cannot recommend Lolita highly enough. She has communicated with my three cats—one who has passed and two who are still with me—and each session has been an incredible experience. The level of detail and accuracy she shares about their personalities, feelings, and experiences continues to amaze and surprise me every time.
Lolita has a true gift, and her compassion, sensitivity, and connection with animals are evident in her work. I am deeply grateful for the comfort, clarity, and joy she has brought to me through these beautiful communications with my beloved cats. ~ Andrea
I’m so happy I found Lolita! She has communicated with each of my five cats individually with amazing results. – Lolita picked up on and accurately described their different personalities. She emailed lengthy and detailed accounts of each session.
~ Anne Marie
Lolita has a gift, her communication with the love of my life, Miss Vivian’s spirit, after her passing was undeniably genuine. She shared details that only Miss Vivian and I shared as I live alone. I laughed and cried at so many things Vivian shared about our lives together, Lolita even captured Vivian’s personality which one cannot make up. If you really want to contact your beloved pet, Lolita should be your only choice.
God bless her.
~ Denise Bianchini
What to Expect From a Session with Judy…
My session with Judy filled my heart with so much peace. I’m truly grateful to her. ~ Nicole Harrison

I can’t express what a comfort the session was.

I had a session with Judy felt like I have known her forever somehow. My Darby shared so many wonderful things to me through Judy. I laughed and got teary eyed and Darby even gave me some advice for my life as well as included Max is some of the things he talked about
~ Carol
Choosing Judy was my first time scheduling with a pet communicator. I lost my beautiful soul dog about 6 weeks ago very abruptly. I read Karen’s books first. Judy was a very compassionate, very empathetic person who shared some extremely detailed information about my sweet dog Diesel. These words, phrases, and messages from Diesel were so meaningful and powerful in my journey of losing him. This was very real because no one would have had any prior information regarding Diesel’s special messages to me. I would highly recommend this to anyone experiencing extreme emotional loss. ~ Alisa

Manola communicated things that only my cat, Sire and I could know. She was so giving and authentic with the messages she conveyed. She truly has a gift.
~ Danny S.
Manola offered me so much peace during this unbearable pain I’m experiencing. I’m a skeptical myself but she provided information only my girl and I knew. ~ Eliza P.
I had a session with Manola and I was completely blown away by her authentic messages to me from Diesel. She must be very gifted with communicating on the Other Side. She shared messages from Diesel that were mind blowing. I felt such a beautiful connection. She was so kind and empathetic and real. Thank you again for offering this incredible opportunity for people like me to receive messages. ~ Alisa M.
Manola provided insight that was deeply personal and incredibly accurate. This experience wiht our rescue, Snacky, was emotional, comforting, and unforgettable. Her reading gave us chills. She knew about his blanket, his leg injury, how bonded he is to his dad, the homemade food we fed him, and tasting an orange. We highly recommend booking with Manola. She is truly amazing! ~ Glen
Tips Before You Book a Session
Be Emotionally Balanced
Your energy will affect the session in positive or negative ways.
Bringing balanced energy to your appointment will allow your companion to share messages more easily.
It is okay to cry. Tears are welcome and can be very helpful to activate healing.
Be Open to Any Message
Don’t expect a certain message, such as a favorite toy, song, or nickname. You’ll only be disappointed.
Let your companion share what is important to them.
Leave expectations behind and don’t ask questions you already know the answer to.
Talk to Your Pets
Before the session, tell your companions you are excited to hear their messages.
Tell them the name of the person who will communicate with them, so they are open to sharing.
Say this out loud or quietly in your mind.
About
I’m Karen A. Anderson
Here is the inside scoop about animal communication…
About thirty years ago, I discovered my calling in this lifetime when I began receiving messages from the animals I loved. I was fascinated and dedicated myself to learning everything I could about this new form of communication.
While I was a deputy sheriff in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, animals on crime scenes began sharing information with me that rivaled eyewitness accounts by humans. This new skill, called animal communication, was now helping me solve crimes.
It wasn’t an easy path, and many were critical of my abilities. Just when I was ready to call it quits, a message from a little white dove changed the course of my journey. You can read more about all of this in my books.
I began conducting professional sessions with clients and their pets. I traveled across the USA and built my business on referrals. I wrote three bestselling books, sharing the amazing messages from my sessions.
I retired from conducting animal communication sessions in 2019 to focus on starting a nonprofit animal sanctuary, writing more books and coaching Animal Communication. My focus shifted and I tackled each of those projects. In April of 2021, we launched the Painted Rain Ranch Animal Sanctuary and now care for abandoned, injured, hospice, and many senior pets until they take their last breath.
I still receive daily requests for animal communication sessions. Many are disappointed that I no longer offer those appointments, so I partnered with my hand-selected experts and artisans so everyone can experience the magic of animal communication. Sessions are extremely insightful, heartwarming, and healing.
That peace of mind that eludes you after a loss can suddenly wrap itself around you like a warm hug just by hearing from your beloved pets.
It is so hard to find someone you can trust to connect with your pets.
Sadly, there are many fakes, frauds, and scammers making it hard to find a truly talented and professional specialist.
Also, many call themselves ‘Animal Communicators,’ but they haven’t done the hard work or put in the time it takes to conduct a great session. There’s a lot more to it than you may realize.
I did the legwork for you and set out to find the best of the best, so you don’t have to.
Each expert on my site has been thoroughly vetted for accuracy, honesty, and skill, and has completed multiple sessions for me.
You can also select a Pet Portrait by Jinger as a memorial tribute to the pets you love.
No matter who you select, choose mindfully, as every specialist has a different skill level, unique method, and style.
