Today is the day, my official date of closing, November 1, 2021 after 26 years in business. I started this business when I was just 25! Now at 51 I will be pondering what my next adventure will be. But for now, just reminiscing over all of the great experiences!
Thanks everyone!
For future services, contact Michelle at www.creatureconnection.com. She will be expanding her area to include all of my clients. All of the sitters from A Pet's Best Friend will now be on Michelle's team!

A message from Michelle at Creature Connections (also emailed to existing clients):

"I am very excited to get to know you all and help you continue to receive caring and reliable pet care for your furry family member!

As Melissa mentioned, we want this to be as seamless as possible for you. Many of A Pet’s Best Friends pet sitters have signed up to work with Creature Connections in order to continue caring for your pets.

All of you who schedule regular midday weekly visits will be able to continue your normal routine with your same sitter just through Creature Connections Pet Sitting come November 1st!

I invite you all to visit our website www.creatureconnection.com to learn more about our company.
You can register as a new client on our ‘Request Service’ page through the ‘New Client’ link. Please mentioned that you are transferring from A Pet’s Best Friend and I will email over more information about our company and pet sitting software that we use.

You have the option of inputting you and your pet’s information in our software/portal system or with your permission, we can transfer the information that Melissa has on file in her software program to ours.

Our software system, Time To Pet, is very similar and user friendly as what you are familiar with using through A Pet’s Best Friend.

I am more than happy to meet with you all either in person, via Zoom, or chat over the phone so that I get to know you, your pets, and needs moving forward. I am big on communication and want to be on the same page when it comes to helping take care of your beloved pets!

I am looking forward to working with you and please feel free to reach out anytime!"

A Pet's Best Friend will be providing pet sitting services through the end of OCTOBER.

I want to start of by saying the past 26 years of watching over so many various pets has been the most incredible adventure I could have ever asked for. The relationships, cuddles, and adorable puppy kisses I will certainly never forget. That is why making the decision to seek out a new adventure in life and to sell A Pets Best Friend was such a HARD decision for me. With that, I would like you to know I am at ease with my decision to sell A Pets Best Friend to Creature Connections Pet Sitting, one of my most trusted friends in the business.
Michelle, the owner of Creature Connections, has many of the same attributes, standards, and beliefs that have made my time here so successful and enjoyable. Michelle graduated with a Veterinary Technician degree from Colby Community College and started her career in that field before having the opportunity to take over Creature Connections Pet Sitting back in 2008. Ever since that time, I have worked with her and found her as one of the best in the business. This is why she topped my list when I decided to reach out and see if she would consider taking over all the wonderful families I care for so much for. Michelle has owned Creature Connections for over 13 years and I have very little doubt that if you move over to her services, you will be well taken care of.
I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that when you schedule with Creature Connections, the customer service and wonderful pet sitters, will all remain the same. The majority of the current pet sitters who have serviced your pets through A Pets Best Friend over the years are transitioning over to work with Creature Connections and would love to continue to help take care of your furry babies.
The goal of this transition is to make it seamless for you and your furry children. The name and contact to schedule services may change, but everything else will remain the same (this includes rates and many of your main pet sitters). Michelle’s company does utilize different Pet Sitting Software but is very similar and user friendly as to what we use at A Pet’s Best Friend.
As of November 1st, 2021, A Pet’s Best Friend will no longer be in business. All pet care needs for November 1st and on will go through Michelle with Creature Connections at www.creatureconnection.com, 303-280-1163, or [email protected]. I will be forwarding a letter form Michelle with more information!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have loved so many animals and enjoyed working with clients while on this adventure, and will cherish my experiences always!

What would really make my heart sing at this point is if you would share a photo of your pets in the comment area below.
Thank you!

$2735 more needed to reach the $5000 goal in just THREE DAYS! With so many animals lovers as my clients...I KNOW we can do it! Every dollar counts. So even a small donation adds up! Please go to this link, share this link, and donate today to help all of the animals who are unable to help themselves. They depend on our donations. http://support.ddfl.org/goto/apbf2021

PLEASE SHARE to your page:
Hello! I hope you'll support my efforts to raise $5000 by May 1st to help homeless pets and horses at the Dumb Friends League by sponsoring me in the 28th annual Furry Scurry.
Click here to donate http://support.ddfl.org/goto/apbf2021
This year, Denver's favorite dog walk is going virtual! The Virtual Furry Scurry brings animal lovers together, while staying safely apart, with a very important purpose: helping the Dumb Friends League care for thousands of lost, abandoned, abused and unwanted pets and horses, and giving them a second chance at happiness in a forever home.
I will be raising this money for the DDFL in memory of our Golden Retriever, "Charlie", who passed away on 4/11/20 from Immune Medicated Thrombocytopenia complications resulting in heart failure. It was already a difficult time last April, having to quarantine, and the pet loss didn't help matters. We have welcomed another dog into our family since then, our Newfoundland, "Ruby". She has been a complete joy and has filled our hearts with love.
If animals have brought you as much joy as they've given me, this is your opportunity to show some love to homeless pets and horses and change their lives for the better.
Thank you so much for helping me make a difference to homeless pets and horses. I appreciate your support!
