About Pet Sitting in Östersund
Östersund sits on the eastern shore of Lake Storsjön with Frösön right across Vallsundet. The Frösö trail circles the entire island for roughly 30 kilometres of mixed paths through woodland, pastures, and along the shoreline. Östberget with its viewing tower gives a clear view over the entire lake. In the centre, Badhusparken connects the lakefront with a cycle and walking path. South of the city, Lillsjön nature reserve has hiking trails and bird life. In winter, Östersund becomes one of Sweden's leading destinations for cross-country skiing, which also makes the city dog-friendly year-round.
Östersund's neighbourhoods suit different types of pet owners. Centrum is walkable with quick access to Lake Storsjön and Badhusparken. Frösön is its own island with sheep pastures, an old church, nature reserve, and residential areas with sweeping views. Brunflo to the south has a village character and large natural spaces.
