About Solveig L.

59 years old | analyst | 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 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 !

Solveig ist die perfekte Haussitterin, wir haben uns auf Anhieb sehr gut verstanden und ich hoffe, wir sehen uns wieder. Sie kümmert sich liebevoll um alle anfallenden Sachen und ist sehr umsichtig. Regelmäßige Infos zu Haus und Garten sind für sie eine Selbstverständlichkeit.

Solveig was fantastic! This is my first time using a house/pet sitter so I was a bit nervous but I couldn't be happier. Solveig bonded with my cat Simba immediately and kept me frequently updated with picture and video. The house and garden looked lovely when I got back and Simba is still looking for his friend Solveig 😊. Thank you so much and we hope you will come back one day.
