How It All Started

Britt created a career in technical marketing, working with companies like IBM, Oracle, and DoorDash for over a decade.

The experience gave her valuable skills, but she decided to build something of her own: a dog care business rooted in the neighborhood she loves.

To follow this calling, she left the corporate world and founded Park Slope Pals, an in-home haven for small dogs in the heart of Brooklyn.

The Park Slope Pals Philosophy

Britt and her husband Michael—a familiar face at meet-and-greets, drop-offs and pick-ups—share a simple goal: loving, attentive care at an affordable price, for all dogs. That means seniors, dogs with special medical needs, recent rescues, and long-term family companions.

Care at Park Slope Pals is rooted in patience, routine, and genuine connection. Each dog receives individualized attention in a safe, smoke-free environment.

Last year, Britt and her family hosted a Christmas dinner and gift-opening for two dogs who were boarding with them over the holidays.

As the proprietor, Britt is insured through Pet Care Insurance and is American Red Cross–certified in Dog CPR and First Aid.

Meet the Family

Originally from Baltimore, Britt is a diehard Ravens and Orioles fan. Outside of dog care, she is an avid bike rider and volunteers with New York Road Runners and her alma mater, Dartmouth, where she serves as an Admissions Ambassador.

Britt and Michael are proud pet parents to Furby, their 5-year-old Havanese, who has been carefully socialized to welcome and befriend all visitors, human and canine.

Furby has been known to nap next to new friends during the day and sleep next to them at night.

All together, they help make every dog feel right at home.

Giving Back

Park Slope Pals proudly supports Sean Casey Animal Rescue, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit that provides life-saving care to animals with the most severe medical and behavioral needs. A percentage of every booking goes directly to their critical care fund.
