Now let’s huddle together for a load of cuteness!
Liam the Everyday Cat – @liam_the_everday_cat
Meet rescue kitty, Liam. His social media handle may be Liam the everyday cat, but you will quickly discover that he may not be your everyday cat. Liam is, in fact, a cat actor and a pet influencer.
Content
First off, we gotta acknowledge that this is one STUNNING cat. Especially when he’s wearing one of his kitty outfits – his favorite being a tie. Yes, a tie. But hey, he’s not just a pretty face, this cat has skills! Firstly, he can do tricks. We’re talking “sit,” “high-five,” “handshake,” and more. Tell us when last you saw a cat learning tricks. We’ll wait.
This tabby cat also loves the great outdoors – going on adventures and camping. Gotta say, Liam looks like he is living his best life. We’re low-key jealous LOL!
We love Liam’s vibe. Even if you’re not really a cat lover, Liam will gain your interest and keep you wondering what he will do next. He really is a natural at being a pet influencer.
Collabs
Being the smart cat that he is, Liam knows that Collabs are where it’s at. He has already secured a few, which you will see littered (pun intended) across his posts. Why wouldn’t you want to work with a cat who has a knack for keeping followers intrigued? We can’t think of a reason either. Contact this pet influencer to partner up and get your brand in the spotlight.
Hanna M. – @westieboywilson
Introducing us to her West Highland White Terrier (Westie if you prefer), is Hanna. The Westie in question? Wilson. He’s a happy chap whose personality shines through effortlessly… and all 31k+ of his growing fanbase soak it up.
Content
Gotta say, we’re soaking it up too. Wilson has a million-dollar smile sure to brighten up any dull day. Even when he’s just chilling, lazing around in the sun with his shades on, #issavibe. He definitely loves being in the backyard. You can look forward to him chasing his oversized ball, running around, lazing around, and just generally living his best doggo life.
If you’re considering what type of dog to get, here is a quick warning. You will want a Westie in your life after scrolling through this pet influencer’s content.

If you are a brand in the pet care industry, there is no reason why you wouldn’t want to work with Wilson the Westie… he’s got such charisma and is such a natural in front of the camera. It’s a win-win for everyone!

New Jersey, USA. Home to the prince: His royal highness, Teddy the Prince, a super cute poodle puppy. Alongside him, you will also find Amber, his poodle puppy bestie. Together, they make adorable content, tugging at our heartstrings.
Content
Regal cuteness. That’s what you get when you put these two poodle puppies together. We’re talking matching outfits (including Easter hoodies), hilarious Insta Reels, and puppies just being, well… puppies!
Their mom, Natalia, has done (and continues to do) a great job with her choice of content. Her captions are witty and rib-tickling, keeping us fully entertained. Teddy does a great job as a pet influencer and so does Amber. Together, there is no heart they can’t win!
Collabs
If you, like us, are thinking, “These two pet influencers are so cute, they must have scored several Collab deals,” you would be right. No need to look too far to find out just how many – they’re showing off their achievement of 200+ brand deals in their Instagram bio. Clearly, Teddy and Amber are pros at what they do. This is one pet influencer duo you need to partner up with!

Content
Together, these three labrador retrievers make one entertaining trio of pet influencers. Additionally, you can find the three of them on three social media platforms – TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Hey – more dogs, more coverage needed!
Why does their follower and fan count keep rising? Must be those dazzling smiles. Or perhaps it’s the hilarious captions. Maybe the funny memes, the cute outfits, or their bright personalities?
To be honest, it’s probably all of the above. People just can’t get enough of them!
I can’t with him and his spins, so cute.
Picture pawfect (heart emoji) love that bandana.
