What it’s like to work with me
Real feedback from canine and veterinary business owners I’ve worked alongside.
“Fiona is so much more than a VA”
I found Fiona through a mutual acquaintance, I’m absolutely delighted for her recommendation as I am beginning to realise Fiona is so much more than a VA, she’s the calm in my chaos, an oracle of wisdom and a whizz at tech stuff that I find so very daunting. She’s become so instrumental in helping me start up my new business venture.
Having Fiona beside me through the highs and lows, ups and downs, has made it easier to keep pushing through, especially on tough days.
Having regular monthly strategic calls and in-depth conversations means she can keep things ticking along if I need to step away for any reason, and that is such a relief to me, as it takes a huge weight off my shoulders, being a solopreneur with some ongoing health issues.
I wholeheartedly recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a professional, genuine, trustworthy and highly skilled pet industry-specific VA.

“Fiona you’re amazing”
Her business reset call at the beginning of this year picked up some important issues with missing policies on my website, and she also recommended a scheduling app which is also helping me streamline my booking system.
Fiona you’re amazing
“Fiona just took care of everything”
So incredibly kind and very ethically minded.

“She doesn’t just complete tasks; she finds better ways to do them and offers fresh ideas that have genuinely improved how I operate”
From day one, she brought a level of professionalism and skill that immediately put me at ease. Her experience shows in everything she does.She anticipates needs before I even articulate them and handles complex tasks with remarkable efficiency. She is also very familiar with the canine professional industry, which helps a lot!
What sets Fiona apart is her ability to stay calm under pressure.
When deadlines pile up or unexpected challenges arise, she navigates them with a steadiness that keeps the whole operation running smoothly. I’ve never once seen her flustered, even in situations that would stress most people out.
Beyond her technical abilities, Fiona brings genuine creativity to her work. She doesn’t just complete tasks; she finds better ways to do them and offers fresh ideas that have genuinely improved how I operate. Her suggestions have saved me countless hours and helped me approach problems from angles I wouldn’t have considered on my own.
And I have to mention her sense of humour. Working together never feels like a grind because she brings warmth and fun to our interactions. She makes even the busiest days feel manageable and keeps the energy positive.
I genuinely couldn’t imagine running my business without her. Fiona has become an indispensable part of my team, and I recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a virtual assistant who combines sharp perception, experience and skills with a wonderful personality.
She’s exceptional.

“What sets her apart is that she’s a qualified pet pro”
She is meticulous as a virtual assistant and has made life a lot less stressful for many of my clients, taking the jobs they hate off their hands, and everyone who works with her raves about her.
What sets her apart is that she’s a qualified pet pro, having studied as a dog trainer, so is able to understand her clients and offer an extra level of support thanks to her knowledge of what they do.
Fiona is really generous too and provides so much advice for free with no expectation of anything in return.
She works really hard with her clients and also cheerleading and supporting the people around her and is a great networker and connector.
If you’re looking for help and a very safe pair of hands as a pet professional who knows what they’re talking about, Fiona is your woman!

“She delivered quality professional results”
She really listened to my needs, did a systems review and offered advice to meet my unique goals. She delivered quality professional results that reflected my business and helped me feel confident and gave me peace of mind that behind the scenes, the tech was set up correctly and ran smoothly.
She setup Mailerlite, to launch my newsletter and kept me on track. I highly recommend Fiona, where-ever you are in the world!

“I got my business Mojo back”
If you ever get the opportunity to work with Fiona, you must do it.
I booked the power hour because I had lost my ‘Mojo’ a little bit and was feeling unfocused.
At the end of the hour brainstorming with Fiona I found clarity again, I had a plan moving forward, and yes, I did get my business Mojo back!
Thankyou Fiona

“High quality of work, professional, calm and knowledgeable”
I approached Fiona as I have just franchised my dog walking business and needed help to put my operations manual and prospectus together.
Fiona has definitely worked her magic and I am so happy with the high quality of her work, how professional, calm and knowledgeable she is. Fiona is always that reassuring sense of calm and composure and has a solution for things that may crop up!
I would honestly be lost without her services now, and I cannot recommend Fiona enough! If you want a 5 star then Fiona is the VA for you!

“Fiona is extremely diligent and conscientious”
She’s also completely unflappable, which is brilliant with my 100-mile-a-minute mind. She’s helped with a variety of admin and products and is always ready to offer advice and thoughts on new ideas.
Would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of working with a VA.

“Not only has my business improved, but so has my mental health”
As a person who’s neurodiverse, I struggle a lot with organising and prioritising, as well as looking for the small details, but thankfully now I have Fiona to help and do all that for me!
Fiona is truly great at what she does, and not only has my business improved, but so has my mental health.

“Fiona’s service was invaluable”
I contacted Fiona as she was recommended to me as the go to person for setting me up on an online appointment booking system for grooming businesses. I had a call with Fiona & we discussed the various options that were available to me. Once we had decided which system to use, Fiona advised what information she needed from me.
Fiona set up the system efficiently as I wanted it & even made suggestions to make it easier for me to use. I don’t do tech & I don’t have the time or patience to learn it, so Fiona’s service was invaluable & once it was set up, we had a call on Zoom so she could show me how to use it, which was great.
Fiona is very knowledgeable in the canine industry & knows the systems, so she was really helpful. I am over the moon with my system & would highly recommend working with Fiona to anyone. Thank you so much I know who to come to if I need anything else.
