In Edinburgh, your pet photography payout follows the owner's acceptance, not an invoice
You deliver full-quality originals in the app, the owner reviews watermarked previews, and your payout follows when they accept, or automatically after 3 days without an answer. Owners in Marchmont and Bruntsfield see the shoots you post first.
Pet photography has its own review on Petme: photographers in Edinburgh apply from the app once their sitter profile is approved.
Post an Edinburgh shoot and let owners come to you
A dog portrait from Stockbridge or Leith makes a strong post. The home feed shows it first to people nearby, so owners in Newington and Morningside like it, follow you and message you.
Every session can be a post
When a shoot in Edinburgh is done, post your best frames with a short caption about the dog, the light or the spot.
A feed that starts close to home
Petme opens on posts from people near the viewer. A shoot you share from Leith reaches your part of Edinburgh before it reaches anyone farther out.
Followers can message you
Owners who follow you in Edinburgh see each new shoot you post and can message you with questions about their pet.
What a shoot in Edinburgh runs into
Check these before you book a spot for a client in Edinburgh. They come from the city's own pages and from NOAA climate normals.
Photography counts as commercial
Edinburgh's park management rules list photography among the commercial activities that need the council's permission. Written permission must be shown on request.
48 hours' notice for filming
The council asks for at least 48 hours' notice for filming in its parks and greenspaces, sometimes more, through its permissions form.
Close control at nesting time
Dogs must be under close control in any park, and at heel or on a short lead near young farm animals and at nesting time, April to July, in woodland, grassland and at the seashore.
Dry April, wet July
The Royal Botanic Garden station averages 727.70 mm of rain a year, with April the driest month and July the wettest at 72.06 mm.
Up to 3 packages, every price yours
Petme sets no photography rate in Edinburgh. You build a menu of 1 to 3 packages, and each one sets the shoot length, the number of edited photos, the price, the delivery deadline and the revision rounds. Owners see all of it before they book.

Price and delivery deadline
Your price, and a delivery deadline of 3, 7 or 14 days per package

Edinburgh areas you can cover
Pick the parts of Edinburgh you cover, from Stockbridge and Leith to Morningside. 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 Edinburgh 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.
