Pet care experience

Avalon RVC Experienced dog walker

Hi there! My name is Crystal, and I’m excited to meet your furry family member. I recently relocated to the area, bringing with me over 10 years of dog-walking experience and a lifelong love of animals. I grew up with three spirited beagles, which taught me patience, energy, and how to handle even the most enthusiastic sniffers! Whether your pup is a playful puppy needing structure or a senior dog who prefers leisurely strolls and gentle care, I tailor each walk to fit their pace and personality. I'm attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and engaged on every outing. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to learn more about your pet's routine and how I can help!

Crystal had trouble with Arie. Admittedly, my dog has problems with transitions but he usually walks with some coaxing and encouragement, even from strangers. She spent most of the time texting me complaining about the situation and rushing me to hurry back. She wasn’t friendly. Still though, at least she stuck it out.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to schedule walks during lunch breaks, early mornings, or in the evenings—whatever suits your dog’s ideal schedule. I treat each outing as a meaningful break in the day, where I get to focus on your pet’s well-being and happiness.

Safety, trust & environment

Respect and safety are at the heart of how I care for pets in my clients’ homes. I treat every space with the same care and consideration I’d give my own—from entering quietly and respectfully to ensuring everything is securely locked when I leave. Whether it’s a quick walk, feeding time, or simply checking in, I make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout my visit.

Pets

A typical day

I love getting my steps in, so dog walks are a highlight of my day! Whether it’s a stroll around the Rockville Centre neighborhood or a favorite trail your pup feels most comfortable on, I tailor each outing to match their pace and preferences. I’m based in the Avalon of RVC and happy to explore local routes your dog already enjoys—or discover new ones together. Beyond walks, I’m all about creating a calm and friendly environment so your pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I aim to make every moment fun and comforting.

Before we head out for a walk or settle in for a visit, it’s important for me to understand your dog’s unique personality and any specific behaviors to be aware of. I’d love to know if they tend to pull on the leash, have any reactivity, or if there’s anything else that would help me keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. I truly love all dogs, but I have a soft spot for beagles and French bulldogs. My parents currently have a beagle named Flash—he’s five and full of spunk. Walking him is one of my favorite ways to unwind, and it’s where I’ve picked up a lot of hands-on experience with strong sniffers and stubborn personalities! Feel free to share anything that makes your pup unique—I’m here to make sure they get the care and attention they deserve.
