Yes, as your own business. Petme does not post vacancies: approved photographers list up to 3 packages and owners in Hamilton book them in the app, the same way they book sitters and walkers.
Do I need paid experience to shoot pets on Petme in Hamilton?
Yes. Along with a portfolio of animal photos, you show one proof of paid professional work: a business registration, a client invoice, or a professional website or social profile. Until then, you can take other pet care work as an approved sitter.
How do I get clients as a pet photographer in Hamilton?
Post your shoots on Petme. The home feed shows them to people nearby first, so owners around Westdale and Durand see your work, follow you and book a package, and each new shoot becomes your next post.
What is a good spot for an outdoor dog shoot in Hamilton?
The Rail Trail Dog Park off Corktown Park and Globe Park Dog Park are designated dog parks in City of Hamilton by-law 22-108. Check the city's posted rules on the day, and agree the spot with the owner in the app chat before the shoot.
How do I become a pet photographer in Hamilton?
Become an approved, ID-verified Petme sitter, then send the photography application with a portfolio of animal photos and one proof of paid work. If it is not approved, you can apply again after 15 days.
