Our UK modelling agency, Models Direct, is the perfect place that encompass all modelling categories including pet modelling. To understand this in more depth we have put together a small guide for potential and newly added pets. Here it is:
Understanding the pet modelling market
There’s plenty of work where pet modelling work thrives. This includes ads, commercials, TV and film work and even influencer campaigning whether it’s directly or indirectly for animal companions.
Check your pet’s suitability
Can your pet react well in different environments with new people and other pets? Are they able to stay calm and follow basic commands such as sit, stay and come? If yes, puuuuurfect!
Is your pet in good health?
Are they up to date with their veterinary checkups? Do you feel like they’re well in themselves to travel and shake up their daily schedule for a bit? If yes, pawwwwsome!

Stay connected with us
Whether it’s our blogs or our socials, keep in touch with us with our fresh content and agency news. Also, be on the lookout for pet modelling jobs we directly post to our dedicated jobs board making it an interactive process for our registered pet models and their owners.
Keep it profesh!
This is a really important point to mention even for your pet but if they’re booked for an assignment, you’ll still need to be punctual and professional. There’s no leeway even if they’re not human!
You can decline a position if you wish
If your pet is matched to a job, you’re not bound by a contract to fulfil it. If for whatever reason you cannot commit to it, let us know! We guarantee no pressure and no penalising. Above all, keep it fun! Remember – our agency is full of dedicated coordinators who are trained to match assignments for your pet model. Clients will only call for their look if they request to hire them!
