As a couple/duo
In September and the last week in October and 2 first weeks in November 2026 I will not be available for taking care of animals.
I am 60 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 possibility to work remotely after Covid time gave me the great flexibility for travelling(private and via Nomador). I retired in January 2025, but I 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 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.
But I appreciate very much, 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 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, what a wonderful human being. She is warm, generous, respectful. She took excellent care of Louie, my cat, gave him all his medication as instructed a d lots of love. Sent me endless photos and videos showing a 19 years old cat playing happy like a kitten. My home, on my return, was impeccable, everything in its place. Not only that but she got me a few things for my breakfast . So thoughtful. I recommend Solveig 100%. I shall have her again without hesitation.

Solveig est une merveilleuse personne, nous sommes ravis qu elle ait accepté de séjourner chez nous. Nos animaux ont été chouchoutés, ils étaient en pleine forme quand nous sommes rentrés, elle leur a apporté beaucoup de soins, d affection, et nous a envoyé des photos et vidéos très régulièrement. Et la maison ! tenue à la perfection, très propre, chaque chose a sa place. Nous recommandons à 200 % cette charmante et gentille petsitter :)

Solveig est une personne adorable. Mon départ à du être anticipé de quelques jours, elle s'est adaptée. La communication a toujours était fluide et très facile. Solveig à prit soin de Roxy comme ci c'était son chat. Elle l'a gâtée. Nous avons également reçu des cadeaux de la part de Solveig pour Noël. Elle fait tout pour nous rendre la vie plus facile, c'est une personne formidable. Je recommande vivement Solveig pour qu'elle puisse venir garder vos animaux et prendre soin de votre maison.

From the very first contact, I knew that Solveig was a cat lover. Solveig is a very friendly and interesting person. When she arrived, she wanted to do everything right and asked all the questions she needed to. Solveig not only took perfect care of our cats, but from the videos and photos she sent regularly, I could see that in just a few weeks she had managed to win over our cats, especially Chaya, who is very shy and special. We also found our house in immaculate condition. We are extremely grateful and hope that Solveig will agree to come back. THANK YOU
