About

Michael the human behind Outdoor Petcare:

Michael Mojica is a graduate of the Dogtec Advanced Dog Walking Program given to only 12 students a year.

Services

Outdoor Pet Care takes pride in taking your pet on professional, safe, and personalized trail adventures. Taking a pack on trail hikes takes effort, a lot of patience and intuition, and expertise, but the results are guaranteed to relax your pet, raise his spirit, heighten his alertness.

Group Walks

Important Note: I take careful consideration in choosing the dogs that go together in a pack in every Outdoor Pet Care adventure. Each adventure and leash walk is based on the consistency of these workouts I provide, which ensures predictability and ultimately, safety. Because of this, Outdoor Pet Care does not offer discounts on the basis of number of walks per week or number of dogs per family.

We call them adventures because that's what they are.

Dogs that join Outdoor Pet Care on our workouts get to experience the Berkeley they might not see every day. Each dog adventure is a fast-paced off-leash hike with a fit and attentive expert and certified dog walker, in one of the several trails in Strawberry Canyon, Tilden Park, Albany Bowl, or Claremont Canyon. Your dog(s) get to socialize, get that energy working, a lot of fun romping with a group or pack of not more than six dogs at a time.

Outdoor PetCare Adventures

begin with each dog getting picked-up and end with their being brought home refreshed, relaxed, and happy. Getting your dog back refreshed, relaxed, and happy should take only about 1.5 to 3 hours, total.

The recommended workout schedule is a minimum of two sessions a week.

Consistency is crucial, so getting the 5x-weekly adventure is highly advised. Schedules should be pre-arranged prior to the pet's first session. Cancellations or schedule re-sets must be made no later than 24 hours (business hours, please) before the scheduled workout, through email, text message, or call. Kindly wait for the notice to be acknowledged.

Private Walks

Some dogs may take some time to get used to another human or might not be used to going around with other dogs. For some dogs, lower-than-usual energy and stamina levels might be the challenge. We recommend exclusive and individualized sessions to help coax them out of their reservations or to train and orient them prior to joining a pack. The sense of group adventure has to be slowly re-introduced, so your dog is taken around on energetic walks in more level grounds before going on individual trek hikes. One-hour walks for 2-4 weeks should be sufficient to work on their recall, energy, and/or team behavior before they can go on packs.

Drop Ins

Outdoor Pet Care was developed for dog workouts outdoors, but we do have some packages for your feline companion(s), your "grounded" dog, and pets who just need to stay home while the rest of the family goes on vacation. I offer drop-in visits to help give them some attention and playtime. We recommend an hour to work out the energy they need to spend, even indoors.
