Pet photographer jobs in Leicester

Leicester owners see your pet photos in their feed before they ever message you

Petme is a pet-care app with its own feed. You post photos and videos from your sessions, and the home feed shows them first to people nearby, so owners in Knighton and Clarendon Park follow you and open your profile. Owners already use Petme for sitting and walks.

In Leicester, photographing on Petme starts with an approved sitter profile and continues with a separate photography application in the app.

Common questions

Pet photographer jobs in Leicester

Questions pet photographers in Leicester ask before applying.

Are there dog photographer jobs in Leicester?
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 Leicester you choose the areas you cover, from Clarendon Park to Stoneygate, and you decide when you take shoots.
How do I become a pet photographer on Petme in Leicester?
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 Leicester.
Do I need paid experience to be a pet photographer in Leicester?
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 Leicester, you can offer other pet care once you are an approved sitter.
Is pet photography profitable in Leicester?
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 Leicester can sit above or below that. Treat it as a guide, not a promise of earnings.
What does a pet photographer do on Petme in Leicester?
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 Knighton can find you.
Are there pet portrait jobs in Leicester?
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.
Can I use a drone for pet photos in a Leicester park?
No. Leicester City Council says you must not fly drones or model aircraft in any of its parks or open spaces, nature reserves and sports pitches included. Its citywide dogs orders also keep dogs on leads in specified places, with a £100 fixed penalty.
