As a couple/duo
I am in France and first the middle of November plan to fly for some days to Norway.
I am 58 years old, no smoker, rather quiet person, like to keep all my things clean and in the right order, addicted to nature and books . Through my life I have lived and worked in the different countries and can adopt easily to the place and to the new situation. The cats and dogs were over years members of family. At the times I have lived in the houses with garden, I used to grow my own vegetables and flowers and have kept some farm animals.
I have spent many years before Covid commuting between Germany and Norway, now mostly staying in France and flying back occasionally to Norway and Germany. The ability of work remotely after Covid time gave me the great flexibility for travelling(private and via Nomador). I will retire in January 2025, but probably will still participate in some projects time from time.
I would greatly appreciate if you will give me an opportunity to take care of your property and will do my best to be a good replacement in time of your absence for all your big and little furry and feathery darlings.
I am experienced with giving the pills(the different ways) and administering the insulin shots, like to brush and cuddle and of course know a lot of cuddling words in Norwegian, German, English, French for all animals.
I am very thankful to all adoptive parents of animals(dogs, cats, goats, sheep, parrots, chicken, ducks, turtles, fishes), I have met since I discovered Nomador for their trust and I am humbled by their kind words about me.
I listed Kjetil as my possible travel companion, but I will explicitly mention by applying if he should travel with me for some days as he is not so flexible due to the work demanding his presence in person.
I often has thought that it is a pity that Kjetil didn’t have an opportunity to study and become a veterinarian as he not just loves animals, but he really has some special connection with them.
Kjetil is less in the books, but more in the music and sport.
P.S. Well, I wanted to mention my disadvantages . I don’t mind the cold, rain, fog, snow or dark time, but I have not been coping well with hot weather through my whole life, so I unfortunately can’t take the assignments in the places where it is always hot and not only heat wave over some days.
I am less curious how your house/apartment is furnished and don’t need the video guiding tour by our initial video call, except if there are cases that we don’t meet in person before your departure, but than also only essential places, such as the storage of animals belongings plus the locations of electricity board, general valve to shut down the water/ gas supply.
I am only interested, if there are some curtains/shutters in the room I will be staying, so it will be possible to make darker for the night and if it is a bed. The sleeping sofa is certainly a good invention for some nights, but for the many weeks or months it can be very challenging☺️.
I am a calm person and I don’t produce unnecessary noises self, so it is rather advantage for animals and neighbours to have me around. Our apartments in Düsseldorf and Oslo are located in the quiet areas, so I also apply only for the quiet areas and kindly ask to let me know, if there are already planned and known to you some construction works straight direct to you house/apartment in the time I should take care of your property and animals.

Arradon, France - June 2023
Solveig s'est occupée de mes 2 chats à merveille pendant mon absence. Elle a fait les piqûres d'insuline matin et soir, les a brossés et les a câlinés à volonté. Je les ai retrouvés en pleine forme à mon retour. Je suis vraiment contente d'avoir fait confiance à Solveig, cela m'a permis de partir l'esprit tranquille en voyage. De plus, Solveig s'est très bien occupée de la maison et du jardin, et elle m'a donné beaucoup de nouvelles pendant mon voyage. C'était la première fois que je passais par Nomador, c'était donc très rassurant. Solveig est très discrète et autonome. Merci encore, et bonne continuation !
Lorient, France - February 2023
Solveig est une home-sitter exceptionnelle. Elle adore les chats et elle c’est très bien occupée de nos 2 chouchous en donnant également beaucoup de nouvelles avec photos et vidéos. Elle est très douce et d une grande générosité. La maison était impeccable et elle nous avait préparé un délicieux repas pour notre retour. Je la recommande les yeux fermés.
Oslo, Norway - January 2023
Solveig spent a month at our house looking after our cat Hugo. Communication with Solveig is easy, she follows all instructions about the house etc, and she kept us regularly informed with updates, photos, and videos. She took excellent care of Hugo, who is a friendly cat and wants a lot of companionship - this is another reason why Solveig was a great fit for us. It's obvious that she loves animals and considers their needs at all times. Knowing Hugo is in good hands while we're away is very important to me, and with Solveig here I felt totally at ease. We came home to a happy cat and a spotless house.
Royan, France - December 2022
Solveig was my first house-sitter/pet-sitter in Nomador. And she is perfect. I agree to another host that says Solveig is heaven sent. My baby cats are very peaceful and beautiful when I came back home. She sends me news all the time and I feel at ease with her. She is very independent and very interested in how she can be of help. I can’t believe how lucky am I to find her. I would love to see and pass some time with her anytime soon, if she is interested to go back to Royan. I hope every host is Nomador would have the chance to meet her or find someone like her to house-sit/pet-sit their family. Thank you again Solveig for being the perfect replacement Mom to my baby cats. I wish her the best and hope she can continue to have good health.
