Common questions

Pet photographer jobs in Vancouver

What photographers in Vancouver ask before they apply.

Is Petme hiring pet photographers in Vancouver?
Yes, as your own business. Petme does not post vacancies: approved photographers list up to 3 packages and owners in Vancouver book them in the app, the same way they book sitters and walkers.
Do I need paid experience to shoot pets on Petme in Vancouver?
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 Vancouver?
Post your shoots on Petme. The home feed shows them to people nearby first, so owners around Yaletown and Kitsilano see your work, follow you and book a package, and each new shoot becomes your next post.
Where can I photograph dogs off leash in Vancouver?
Spanish Banks and Sunset Beach Park are City of Vancouver dog off-leash areas, open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. 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 Vancouver?
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.
What does a pet photographer charge in Vancouver?
You set every package price, so Petme publishes no earnings figure. For reference, a one-hour shoot with a photographer costs C$129 to C$209 on Snappr's 2026 Canadian price list, a general rate that is not pet-specific, and prices in Vancouver can sit above or below it.
