Pet sitting in Tartu
Leaving Tartu for a while? Your dog or cat can stay in a neighbour's home instead of a kennel, looked after by someone nearby. In Estonia's university city, that care is thanked in Care Points rather than cash.

A pet owner's guide to Tartu
Handy local knowledge for keeping a pet happy here.
Along the Emajõgi
The river runs right through town, and the paths along the Emajõgi are a favourite for an unhurried walk. Climb up to Toomemägi, the old Cathedral Hill, and you're in a proper wooded park a few minutes from the centre.
A young city, easy to walk
Tartu moves at a student's pace, compact, green and made for walking. When the terraces open, plenty are relaxed about a calm dog resting under the table, as long as you ask and keep water handy.
If you need a vet
The city has its share of veterinary clinics, some with longer hours than others. It's a good habit to note the nearest one to wherever your pet is staying before you set off.
A quick word on the rules
Estonia expects dogs to be chipped, registered and current on their rabies shot. Slip your pet's documents in the bag. A carer here may well ask for a look before the first night.
