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?
Catron: I have always enjoyed taking pictures of my pets, and as time grew over I started to realize I could be making possible earnings doing what I love. I never started out wanting to make money. I just wanted to share my love for my pets with my other fellow pawrents!
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Catron: My dogs are so goofy! They all have a very distinct personality, but none like the other. Each one has a special place in my heart for different reasons, but at the end of the day, they are truly magical to me!
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Catron: Honestly, it’s just go with the flow or see what’s trending. I never really have anything set in stone, just what seems appealing at the time!
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Catron: I have. People are so quick to judge when they are not informed or see something different than the “norm” on social media. If they see pet accounts with a large following they're quick to judge about that, so trying to stay positive is what has helped with negative in the social media world!
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Catron: Just do it! If you have a love for your pets, but also wanna try to make a little earnings from it do it! There is nothing stopping you from pursuing your dreams, whether that be for fun or for financial gain! Make a business email and let the fun start rolling in!!
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Catron: All of my dogs have made my life so great. From losing my childhood dog they have basically saved me from my own negative thoughts. It’s so crazy to me how much a furry creature can mean to you!
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?
Catron: Oh my goodness.. so one time my Great Dane, Luci, went to the gym with me for a slumber party get together, and before I know it she was jumping on the trampoline enjoying it. I never knew she’d liked the trampoline until that very moment. All the kids were laughing and cheering her on! For a 5-year-old Great Dane, she is sure hyper!
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Catron: That I get to do what I love, when I want, where I want! There are not really any restrictions when it comes to pet influencing. If I wanna pack up for a trip to Florida tomorrow I could! I don’t have anything stopping me. It’s all about mindset!
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Catron: Hmm, I am trying to become an ambassador with my pups and show other pawrents some great products. I also plan a trip to Tennessee soon, so some cute photos may be rolling in soon!
