Pet photographer jobs in London, with your shoots shown first to owners in your part of town
Petme is a pet-care app with its own social feed. Post photos and videos from your sessions and the home feed shows them to people nearby first, so owners in Islington or Greenwich see your work, follow you and open your profile. Owners already use Petme for sitting and walks.
In London, photographing on Petme starts with an approved sitter profile and continues with a separate photography application in the app.
How London owners find a pet photographer through a post
Post a portrait you shot in Hackney. The home feed shows it to people nearby first, so owners in Shoreditch and Camden like it, follow you, open your profile and message you in the app.
Your best frames, in the feed
A strong portrait from Camden tells an owner more about your eye than a price list does. Post it, then the next one.
A feed that starts close to home
Petme opens on posts from people near the viewer. A shoot you share from Hackney reaches your part of London before it reaches anyone farther out.
Your profile, one tap away
From any of your posts, an owner near Clapham reaches your profile and can send you a message.
Rules and weather to plan around in London
Check these before you book a spot for a client in London. They come from the city's own pages and from NOAA climate normals.
Dogs in the Royal Parks
Dogs are welcome in all the Royal Parks, but must be on a lead near roadways and water, and children's playgrounds are dog-free. In Hyde Park the Rose Garden and the edge of the Serpentine are on-lead.
Deer season in Richmond Park
In Bushy Park and Richmond Park dogs must be on leads and away from the deer at all times during the birthing season, 1 May to 31 July.
Royal Parks photography permission
Any filming or photography in the Royal Parks needs their permission and in most cases a fee. Commercial use of images, including professional portfolios, needs an application.
Mild, fairly dry weather
At Heathrow, July averages a mean high of 23.89 °C and January 8.42 °C. Annual rainfall is 614.98 mm, with March the driest month.
Up to 3 packages, every price yours
Petme sets no photography rate in London. 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.

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

London areas you can cover
Pick the parts of London you cover, from Camden and Hackney to Shoreditch. 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.
Made for working pet photographers in London
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.
