Can Your Dog or Cat Ride the Broom? My Ride Is Here Pets (2026)

Yes, you can upload a clear photo of your dog or cat and get a 5-second, vertical 9:16 video of it riding a witch's broom past a moving car's window, at the same price as any video ($4.90 for your first), but the effect is built for people, so pet results vary more. A sharp, front-facing photo of one pet in good light gives the best chance.

Do pets work in this trend?

Pets already show up in the broom trend. As of October 22, 2026, east.im's guide notes that some versions of the related "witch broom crash" clip put a cat on the broom. A black cat on a broom fits Halloween so well that it is worth a try.

What to expect from our tool is a little different from a person's video:

• The pose can look less natural. The effect expects a person sitting on the broom, so a dog or cat may not sit on it the way a person would.
• Fur and markings follow your photo but can drift, especially fine patterns, collars and tags.
• Small or fluffy faces are harder. Breeds with eyes hidden under fur give the AI less to work with.

If the video fails to generate, its credits come back automatically so you can make it again at no extra cost. A video that is made but just looks odd is not a failure, so pick the photo carefully.

How to pick the best pet photo

• One animal, no people. The video shows one rider.
• Whole head visible, eyes open. Ears, nose and both eyes in the picture.
• Facing the camera. Call their name or hold a treat just above your phone.
• Eye level. Crouch down instead of shooting from above, so the face is not squashed.
• Good light. Daylight near a window is best. Avoid flash, which turns eyes into glowing dots.
• Plain background. A sofa or a wall works better than a busy room.
• Sharp. Pets move: take a burst and keep the sharpest one.
• Large enough. At least 300 pixels on each side; JPG, PNG, WebP or iPhone HEIC.

Dogs vs cats vs other pets

Ideas for the note box

The optional note box lets you nudge the scene. With pets, short notes work best:

• "a small witch hat on its head"
• "at night under a full moon"
• "in light rain, wet street reflections"

FAQ

Does it cost the same for a pet?

Yes. Every video is the same price: $4.90 for your first and $5.90 after.

Can my pet and I ride together?

No. The effect shows one rider, so use a photo of one subject. You could make one video of yourself and one of your pet, then join them in an editor.

Will my pet look exactly like the photo?

Close, but less reliably than a person. Coat colour and face shape usually carry over; small details like markings and collars can change.

What if the video fails?

Its credits come back automatically, so you can make it again with another photo at no extra cost.
