About Solveig L.

57 years old | analyst | As a couple/duo

In the middle of November I returned for some days to Norway/Germany, but I fly back to France on the 1st of December.


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 est vraiment unique ! Elle est une petsitter attentive, bienveillante et a été très soucieuse du bien être de nos deux chats pendants ses quelques semaines à la maison. Elle nous a donné beaucoup de nouvelles, et a géré parfaitement avec le vétérinaire le petit ennui de santé de notre cowboy Lili. Avec Suzanne/Bilu elles se sont apportées beaucoup d'amour, notre petite mamie chatte était en parfaite santé à notre retour. Solveig a complètement respecté notre maison que nous avons retrouvée nickel! Solveig est une personne d'absolue confiance, extraordinairement respectueuse. Merci Solveig de ce moment chez nous. Avec joie nous pourrions t'accueillir de nouveau !

Ce fut une expérience parfaite; Nous recommandons Solveig les yeux fermés! Elle a été très présente pour les animaux et le jardin. Elle donne des nouvelles très régulièrement . C'est une personne de confiance à qui je reconfierai mes animaux les yeux fermés.

Orsay, France - August 2024

Solveig a pris soin de notre maison et de notre chat Newton pendant 4 semaines, l'été 2024. C'est une personne très attentionnée, très intuitive, qui a tout de suite compris la personnalité et les besoins de Newton. Solveig est très arrangeante, fiable, très communicante, et ce fut un vrai plaisir et un soulagement de savoir notre maison et notre chat entre d'aussi bonnes mains. Nous avons reçu des photos et vidéos régulièrement, et également lors de la réception de courrier. Nous avons retrouvé notre chat en pleine forme, paisible et détendu, et notre maison en parfait état, propre et rangée. Nous avons même retrouvé des mûres au congélateur, que Solveig avait cueillies et stockées pour que nous puissions en profiter à notre retour, et elle a même tondu la pelouse ! Nous la recommandons chaudement, et elle sera toujours la bienvenue chez nous. Merci Solveig :)

Solveig est parfaite ! Dès son arrivée chez nous, elle nous a fait une très bonne impression en posant beaucoup de questions sur nos attendus. Elle a pris grand soin de notre minette Nina âgée de 19 ans et nécessitant plusieurs traitements médicaux. Nous l'avons retrouvée en pleine forme (pour son âge) alors que nous avions hésité à l'emmener avec nous en vacances tant son état physique nous inquiétait. Solveig s'est aussi très bien occupée de Sidonie notre tortue terrestre de 36 ans. Quant à nos plantes d'intérieur, notre jardin et notre potager, nous les avons retrouvés en parfait état. Durant ces 4 semaines, Solveig nous a régulièrement envoyé des photos et de petites vidéos qui nous faisaient très plaisir. Elle a aussi régulièrement communiqué avec nous pour avoir des précisions sur certaines actions qu'elle devait entreprendre dans le jardin ou en relation avec nos animaux. Nous avons passé 4 semaines de vacances l'esprit tranquille, encore un GRAND MERCI Solveig. Reviens quand tu veux !
