Today we got the honor of interviewing Kaitlyn (Sebastian's Human). You can find a direct link to their Instagram here.
Here is their story:
Can you tell us about your journey to becoming a dog influencer? What inspired you to start sharing your dog's adventures on social media?
Trevathan: Sebastian is a rescue pup and I wanted to share the ups and downs of training him to be my cardiac alert and response dog. Everyone shares these perfect moments with their service dogs, but they aren’t robots. So I wanted to share all the ups and downs.
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Trevathan: I think showing his mistakes sets him apart. People love seeing how he can have all the perfect and good moments but also appreciate the “behind the scenes”.
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Trevathan: I film training sessions, outings, events, really everything and use parts of the video. I also like to travel and vlog our trips so I can always remember them.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Trevathan: I would tell them to be true to yourself. Post the content you want to post and the content you want to see and you will find your people.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Trevathan: He has really changed my life, not just by being a service dog. Due to my disabilities I had to figure out a career change and he has allowed me to do that through my love of photography and video editing. I love to be creative.
Can you tell us about a particularly memorable or funny moment you've had with your dog during one of your photo shoots or adventures?
Trevathan: He is always doing random things. He loves to find the biggest stick possible and get zoomies while trying to carry the stick anytime we are outside.
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Trevathan: I love that Sebastian loves to film. Everytime I got to the room I film in at my house, he gets so excited and spins around and runs into the room with me before I close the door.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Trevathan: We are heading to Global Expo in Orlando, continuing to try to shoot more long form content for YouTube, and continuing to be as real as we can.
