Faithful Friends Pet Care

4.9(69)✓ Google-verified

From the first visit onward, Faithful Friends staff send pictures and written notes about what they did with your pet. Reviewers consistently mention they stay for the full booked time instead of rushing, take time with shy or anxious animals, and quickly build real relationships with nervous dogs and cats. Julie, the owner, answers questions promptly and goes the extra mile in emergencies. Clients trust them with older pets, post-surgery recovery, and senior animals in decline because the team treats each visit as caregiving, not just a task. Services span dog walking, cat sitting, overnight stays, and medication or injection administration. Reviewers report peace of mind when traveling, comfort leaving pets for the first time in years, and seeing anxious animals transform into eager greeters. The company operates across Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina.
