Running a pet brand isn’t just about making great products it’s about staying consistent across content, ecommerce, and day-to-day operations. Whether you’re selling enrichment toys, supplements, or lifestyle gear, a Virtual Assistant for Pet Brands can be a game-changer behind the scenes.
What Does a Virtual Assistant for a Pet Brand Actually Do?
Virtual assistants working with pet brands typically support three key areas: Ecommerce operations, content and community, and admin/back office. Here's a breakdown of what that support can look like:
Shopify & Ecommerce Support
-
Keep product pages updated with new images, pricing, and descriptions
-
Format collections, banners, and site navigation
-
Help with SEO tasks like writing alt text, meta descriptions, and optimizing product titles
-
Track cost of goods, update purchase order sheets, and support Amazon storefronts
If you’re running on Shopify and Amazon, this is the kind of support that helps you stay agile without falling behind on backend logistics.
Social Media & Content Creation
-
Draft captions, brainstorm content ideas, and help organize content calendars
-
Schedule posts using tools like Later
-
Organize UGC (user-generated content), testimonials, and branded media
-
Create basic graphics or repurpose content for Reels, Stories, and TikToks
The goal? Keep your pet brand visible, engaged, and on-message without you having to live inside your phone.

-
Attach receipts and organize invoices using tools like Xero

Handle recurring back-office tasks so you stay focused on growth
With bookkeeping and admin handled, you get your time and mental space back.
