At City Pet Care, we are dedicated to providing a unique and personalized service for your furry friends. We understand that your pets are an integral part of your family, and we want to ensure that they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve.

Our Story
Matthew Wall, the founder of City Pet Care, has a lifelong passion for animals and a entrepreneurial spirit forged by his eight years of experience working for Starbucks Coffee Company. A lifelong resident of Pierce County, Matt values the importance of pets in people's lives. He grew up in a family of animal lovers and, from a young age, had many pets including cats and dogs. Matt also competed for many years with Quarter Horses at horse shows along the west coast. These endeavors taught him the value of patience, the virtue and reward of hard work, and the importance of responsibility.
Our Services
At City Pet Care, we offer a range of services designed to cater to the unique needs of your pet. From dog walking to pet sitting, we understand that every pet is different and requires a personalized approach. Our services include:
