Fabulous day with my dog, her first assignment, for Morrisons. Charlie was super helpful with information, where, when, who; that kind of stuff. My dog, Sansa loved the attention from Emily and was keen to meet everyone, especially Keith, the photographer! Can't wait for our next assignment. Christine and Sansa x

Another great modelling experience for Bud! Charlie at Models Direct is always so kind and helpful - making sure that we have all the necessary information prior to attending the shoot, and taking into account Bud's needs as a cat model. The client was great - very patient with Bud, even accommodating a location change when the conservatory became too hot for Bud. The human model was wonderful with Bud, and we all had a smooth and stress-free experience.

From signing up our puppy online after chatting with Magdalena to booking her for her first gig with Charlie, the experience was professional yet personal. We recommend the agency for pets and humans alike.

It was another really successful day. The G-Tech team seemed really happy with Bella again. They told me that we wouldn’t be finished untill 6:30 but managed to get finished at 4:30 due to all the scenes going so well. I was also told that they have some more shoots coming up that they’d want to use her for again. Everyone was lovely and bella was used much much more than last time, as she was the main model in every scene, also having her own scenes. We also tried new things and experimented with her and I felt she did really well, so we look forward to the next one!

Sammy and I had our first booking this week; filming with a group of students at a veterinary surgery in Bracknell. Models Direct were very helpful and ensured we had all of the information we needed but also made us feel comfortable going into our first booking. The film crew were all very friendly and respectful of Sammy's age, his mood on the day and were happy to take direction from me. We had a great time!

What a fabulous experience for both Boo and her Mum! I take my hat of to the models as there is a lot of waiting around but that did not bother a very spoilt Bulldog who loved the attention (even when she did not do what they wanted!!) Her first shoot and hopefully not her last!QFHK-3868

I had signed my dog up with models direct and updated my profile every so often - for a while I did not receive any contact but then received a request for my dog. Models direct called me regularly to ensure I was happy with the conditions of the shoot and was ready to attend with all relevant information, Charlie was great at responding and following up. I had a good experience all in all and so did my Dog :).

My little French bulldog, Dudley had he’s first professional shoot yesterday for Pet Lab and Co thanks to Models Direct. The day was an amazing experience and Dudley was on top form. Any camera he came across, he looked at and loved being apart of the different shoots. When I got the call a couple of weeks ago, I was so overwhelmed and pleased that Dudley had been picked. Charlie from the team was amazing and she helped with all my enquires up to the day. The studio was lovely and we had a lovely lunch provided. Dudley was given so many treats and it was safe to say he slept well last night after a long 8 hour day. I cannot wait for the photos to go live of Dudley in November and I can’t wait for our next assignment. Thank you Models Direct, you’re amazing and can’t wait for Dudley to continue working with you ❤️ #somuchlove

My name is Marty and yesterday I had my first Lifestyle magazine shoot for Gtech's new range of vacuum products. I was given lots of treats and cuddles, and the Team were all very friendly and professional. I can't wait for my next assignment with Models Direct. #starpets #modelsdirect #modellingagency

This was Bud's very first modelling job, and what an amazing experience it was! Charlie at Models Direct was fantastic in organising everything and ensuring we knew what to do and where to go. The guys we worked with on set were amazing, and very complimentary about Bud - from his looks to his behaviour. They say you shouldn't work with children or animals, but I think Bud set the record straight, at least for pets (!) by being a perfect model, even if I am a little biased!

The whole day went really really well for both me and Bella. I wasn’t sure how she would get on with the whole thing, but it was made extremely easy and fun with the team there. Everyone was extremely nice and very patient with her, so she had a great time. Off set the team were throwing her ball for her and cuddling her constantly, so she felt happy the entire day and I expect didn’t want the day to end. At the end of the day, they gave me and Bella their feedback, which turned out very positive and reassured me that I should continue to do this with her. Adam

As this was Candy’s first assignment we were intrigued to see how she would perform in the moment. We were very happy to see that she both enjoyed the experience and the photographer got some great candid shots of her. The company were very understanding and great with handling pet models. I would highly recommend bookings made through the Models Direct, as they maintain professionalism and found the perfect opportunity for my dog Candy to feature in. Thank you, and I look forward to what lies in future opportunities!

It was a really good day - there were initially three cats including Bocat, but he ended up stealing the show and the guys decided to use him for the majority of the shoots that day. He did really well and was very chilled, so we got loads of good stuff out of him! The team were all really accommodating and great to work with. Thanks to Molly at Models Direct for sorting it all out and making everything run smoothly.
