Your hours, your patch

Leeds owners find you on their own time

Post a session from Chapel Allerton or Hyde Park whenever it suits you. Owners nearby see it first, follow you and message you, and you reply when you are free.

Every session can be a post

When a shoot in Leeds 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 Roundhay reaches your part of Leeds before it reaches anyone farther out.

From a post to a booking

An owner who likes a post can follow you, open your profile and message you in the app, then book one of your packages.

Why photograph on Petme

Made for working pet photographers in Leeds

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.

Common questions

Pet photographer jobs in Leeds

Questions pet photographers in Leeds ask before applying.

Are there pet photographer jobs near me in Leeds?
Petme does not post vacancies. Approved Petme sitters who pass a separate photography review build their own menu of up to 3 packages, and owners book from it. In Leeds you choose the areas you cover, from Headingley to Roundhay, and you decide when you take shoots.
Do I need paid experience to be a pet photographer in Leeds?
Yes. The photography application asks for a portfolio of animal photos and at least one proof of paid professional work: a business registration, a client invoice, or a professional website or social profile. While you build that in Leeds, you can offer other pet care once you are an approved sitter.
What is a pet photographer salary in Leeds?
Petme publishes no earnings figure, because you set your own package prices. For reference, a pet photography session costs about £50 to £250 across the UK, according to Airtasker UK (updated November 2023), and a one-hour shoot with a general photographer costs £79 to £139 on Snappr's 2026 UK price list, and prices in Leeds can sit above or below that. Treat it as a guide, not a promise of earnings.
What is the job description of a pet photographer in Leeds?
You shoot pets at the owner's home within your radius, outdoors at a spot the owner names, or in your studio, whichever you offer. You deliver the edited photos in the app by your package's deadline, handle any revision rounds, and post your work on the Petme feed so owners around Chapel Allerton can find you.
Do pet portrait jobs exist on Petme in Leeds?
Petme's pet photography packages are photo sessions: a set number of edited photos from a shoot of a set length, delivered in the app. If your portrait work is photographic, build a package around it and price it yourself. Owners see the contents before they book.
Where must dogs stay on a lead in Leeds parks?
Leeds's dogs order, in force from 24 March 2025 to 23 March 2028, puts dogs on leads in named places such as the Roundhay Park Specialist Gardens and keeps them out of Tropical World, the Canal Gardens and play areas. Officers can direct a dog onto a lead, with a £100 fixed penalty.
How do I become an animal photographer in Leeds?
Become an approved, ID-verified Petme sitter first. Then send the photography application with a portfolio of animal photos, at least one proof of paid professional work and your declarations. If it is not approved, you can apply again after 15 days. Once accepted, you can start taking shoots in Leeds.
