About Solveig L.

57 years old | analyst | 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.

Solveig is an exceptional house sitter, our cat still misses her and she took great care of our house and garden with many little extra touches beyond what she had been asked to do. She sent us frequent reports and photos to reassure us that all was well and was very understanding that we were away for work. not always able to reply and she also stayed on when our return was delayed . She is a lovely person, extremely independant and capable with a great sense of responsibility. We would not hesitate to recommend her and we hope to see her again.

Solveig is the nicest person. She was so invested in the home and cat-sitting that she came to Versailles even tho she was injured and couldn't move around as she would have wanted. She took very good care of Charlie and of my plants and gave news frequently. I've had the best experience so far with Solveig. She is very friendly and inquires a lot about what are the pet and the owner's needs and goes even beyond. I can only recommend to have Solveig taking care of your home.
