Arie is a four year old Goldendoodle in Orange County, California. He has been on camera since he was a puppy, and the clips that travel furthest are the ones where something real happens to him.
This page is what a brand manager or a casting director needs before writing to us: who is actually watching, what has genuinely worked, what he can shoot, and the rules we work by. It is short on purpose.
There is no rate card here, and that is deliberate. Every brief is different, and a number posted on a website is wrong for almost everyone who reads it. Tell us what you have in mind and what you have budgeted for it, and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit. If we are not, we will say so instead of stretching to take the work.
The Audience, With Dates
These are the only numbers we publish, and each one carries the date it was checked or recorded. We do not quote an engagement rate, a CPM, or a projected reach for your campaign, because we cannot honestly verify one before the campaign exists.
If your team needs to verify any of this, ask and we will send platform screenshots. We would rather you check than take our word for it.
Three Things That Worked
Not a highlight reel of averages. These are three examples covering four posts, with what actually happened and the real number attached. What happened is measured. The reading that follows each one is ours, and we have labelled it that way.

What happenedThe reunion clip captioned "This is legit my child" led the account's 365-day top-post table in the 31 Aug 2026 TikTok Studio audit.
Our read of itThe measured part is the view count. Everything below is what we think is going on, not something the analytics prove. Our best guess is that the whole story is legible in the first second, with the sound off and before anyone reads a caption, and that there is no product to explain and no setup to sit through. Nobody told us why they passed it on, so we will not claim to know. The lesson we took for our own filming is that the moment has to be real first, and the framing second.

What happenedTwo separate clips, two different places, the same beat: Arie spots the person he belongs to and closes the distance at full speed. Both on TikTok.
Our read of itThe observed facts are narrow: three reunion clips in three different places, at over 3.9M, 412K, and 252K views on TikTok. Three organic posts are not enough to prove a formula, and we are not going to tell you they are. Our best guess is that the relationship between Arie and his person is the premise the audience turns up for, and that it survives a change of location. If that guess holds, a product that can live inside that moment rather than interrupt it has somewhere real to sit. That is a guess worth testing, not a result we can promise you.

What happenedArie flew coast to coast in the cabin. The clip is the flight itself, gear and all, with no staging.
Our read of itThe observed facts are about 31K views, 644 shares, and 141 saves. We look at shares and saves alongside views for this example. Why anyone saved it we do not know, because the platform does not tell you and nobody wrote to say. What we think is going on is that a flight is something you plan for, and a saved post is one you mean to come back to.
How We Work
Said plainly, because it saves everyone a week of back and forth.
What we do
- Arie is the on camera talent. Catherine stays mostly off camera and handles him.
- Every product gets screened against his health history before we accept it. If something is not right for him, we say no and tell you why.
- Paid partnerships are disclosed properly, on the post and through the platform's own disclosure tool.
- We send platform screenshots if your team needs to verify a number.
- We will tell you when we think a concept will not land, before we shoot it.
What we do not do
- No guaranteed post in exchange for a free product. Gifting means we will consider it, not that it will run.
- No guaranteed views, sales, or engagement. Nobody can promise those honestly, and we will not.
- No product Arie has not actually used, and no claims about results he did not have.
- No exclusivity or category lockout without talking about it first.
Casting
The specifics a casting director asks for on the first call.
What we can shoot
- Short vertical video for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
- Longer segments for YouTube
- Stills for your own site and channels
- Product in use at the beach, on a boat, in the car, and in the cabin on a plane
- At home footage: feeding, grooming, crate, enrichment, the ordinary day
- Commercials, television, film, and print casting
- Content licensed for you to repost and run as paid media, agreed in writing up front
- Product integration in a blog post on this site where it genuinely fits
Tell us what you have in mind
Include the brand, the product, the dates, where the content would run, and what you have budgeted for it. Naming a number in the first email saves both of us a week of guessing. If it is not the right fit we will say so quickly, and we will not counter with a package you did not ask for.
Casting inquiries are welcome here too. Send the spec, the shoot dates, and the location.
Tell us about the brand, the product, timing, and intended use.
