When you work with pet brands like we do, you tend to always keep your eye out for great pet-related content. We’re talking dynamic dog personalities, creative cat characters and even the occasional rare rodent or popular pig.
But living in the pet influencer space can be a blessing and a curse. It has truly become a zoo.
According to the latest survey (2022), around 35% of cat and dog owners around the world had set up social media accounts for their pets. And the actual number is likely much higher.

But seriously, between Instagram, TikTok, Threads, or even Facebook, there’s no shortage of pet influencers out there.
So, for this list we chose to forego the usual suspects — you know, the Doug the Pugs of the world — and focused on a few niche pet influencers who are standing out in the pet space at the moment.
Buddy the Bird
This Canadien Cockatiel is a rescue bird with quite the following. With roughly 78K followers on Instagram, 34.7K subscribers on YouTube, and a growing presence on TikTok, this bird business is booming. Oh, did we mention Buddy has merch?
Miss Peaches
Hate him or love him, the founder of Barstool Sports clearly has an affinity for rescue pups. Judging from the lavish digs and frequent jet setting, it’s clear Miss Peaches is in great hands. Adopted in February 2024, the rising rescue already has 1.3M followers on Instagram, 807K followers on TikTok, and a Georgia peach product line where 100% of the net proceeds go to dogs in need.

Brodie that Dood
Look at this dude. Seriously. Multiple appearances court side at the Lakers game and at the Stanley Cup finals has this gigantic Goldendoodle blowing up. On Instagram, Brodie has 1.2M followers, while over on YouTube the big dog has 5.2M subscribers, and 6.7M followers on TikTok.
Morrie
A+ for adorable. This two-year old lab may be small, but he’s growing at a rapid rate — both in size and social media following. On TikTok, @tuesdaywmorrie has amassed 191K followers, while over on Instagram he has 25.8K followers. Morrie’s mom made waves recently when she shared just how much $ she makes off his pet celebrity.
