Hi, I’m Chrissie and I run 4 Legs & A Tail. I’ve lived and worked in Retford for over 20 years and I have a great love for animals. My own flock includes horses, dogs, cats and chickens, and very supportive family network.

I understand how important it is to take care of any animal in your life, and also how hard balancing everything else can be. Whether you’ve got school commitments to attend, work to take care of, family to deal with, or just taking a well earned holiday. Then trying to squeeze in that appointment with the farrier, or vet, feeding, cleaning or just taking the dog for a walk. It all takes precious time and that is where you can trust 4 Legs & A Tail to step in and help you.

I am passionate about caring for all kinds of animals, trustworthy and reliable in looking after your pets and your property in your absence. I am completely hands-on with your pets’ needs taking care of them as if they were my own.

Alongside myself, I have a team of sitters who are suitably matched to jobs accordingly. I take care of organising the right people to look after your animals and will bring them along to the consultation visit so that you and your pet get a chance to meet the person who looks after them. And I am always on hand to call on in any situation.

You can entrust me and my team to take care of many animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, livestock, chickens and more. Each animal is treated with the same loving care and attention that I do with my own animals. I offer peace of mind that your pets will be well cared for and attended to with no change to their routine whilst you are away. 

Based at Willow Farm Cottam in Nottinghamshire, 4 Legs & A Tail is perfectly placed to take care of your pets in Retford, Gainsborough, Tuxford and all the surrounding villages including Sturton Le Steeple, Wheatley, Rampton, Laneham, Dunham-on-Trent, Leverton, East Drayton, Saundby, Clarborough, Gringley and many more!

Willow Farm Cottam has a pet shop-come-feed store which supplies the local community with feed for horses, cats, dogs, poultry and other small animals. There is also stock a small range of household goods, gifts and groceries such as bread, milk and eggs, along with much more. You can find out more about the shop and what it offers here.

I look forward to hearing from you about how we can take care of your furry friends!
