Cardiff pet photography jobs on your own schedule, from Pontcanna to Penylan
Petme sets no shifts. You choose when to take shoots and which areas you cover, from Cathays to Llandaff, and every package you sell names its length, edited photos, price and delivery deadline. The shoots you post reach owners nearby first.
First you become an approved Petme sitter in Cardiff, then you send the photography application from the app.
Cardiff owners book around your diary
Post a session from Roath or Whitchurch when it suits you. Owners nearby see it first, follow you and message you, and you choose which dates you take.
Your best frames, in the feed
A strong portrait from Pontcanna tells an owner more about your eye than a price list does. Post it, then the next one.
Local before distant
Owners in Cardiff scroll a home feed that puts posts from people around them first, and that includes your shoots.
Followers can message you
Owners who follow you in Cardiff see each new shoot you post and can message you with questions about their pet.

Cardiff areas you can cover
Pick the parts of Cardiff you cover, from Pontcanna and Cathays to Roath. For a shoot at the owner's home you set a travel radius from where you are. Outdoors, the owner names the spot. In your studio, the owner comes to you. You choose which of the three you offer.
What Cardiff photographers get on Petme
Paid when the owner accepts
Your payout follows when the owner accepts the delivery. If they say nothing for 3 days it counts as accepted, so there are no invoices to chase.
Owners see the package first
Duration, edited photos, price, delivery deadline and revision rounds are on the page before anyone books, so a request already matches what you offer.
Originals stay full quality
You deliver full-quality originals in the app, never recompressed. The owner sees watermarked previews until they accept.
