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 une perle! Quelle chance pour ma première expérience avec Nomador.... Moi qui suis inquiète pour mes chats, je suis partie en toute confiance et j'ai profité de mes vacances sereinement. Solveig s'était préoccupé, avant son arrivée, de connaître tous leurs besoins et particularités. Elle m'a envoyé des nouvelles tous les jours, et elle a pris le plus grand soin d'eux, de l'appartement (que j'ai retrouvé parfaitement rangé et propre), et des plantes. Sans compter la surprise culinaire qui m'attendait au retour... Solveig est juste incroyable et adorable! Elle est bien sûr aussi une personne très intéressante avec qui j'ai eu grand plaisir à échanger. Un énorme merci de la part de Marie,T'choupi et Grisbouille. Et on espère, à une prochaine fois...

C’était vraiment parfait ! Nous avons retrouvé une maison mieux qu’à notre départ. Solveig et son ami se sont très très bien occupés de nos animaux et nos oiseaux doivent les regretter je pense .. c’est avec un grand plaisir que nous retrouverons Solveig si elle souhaite repasser à chinon. Et nous la recommandons sans aucune réserve et j’espère que nous les reverrons
We were new to Nomador and Solveig is the first person that stayed in our house and took care of our animals. I don't think we could be more lucky! I don't know where to start. More than perfect? She took so much good care of our animals. She did twice a day long walks with our dog she wrote me all about it in details she sent photos and videos regularly; I could relax during my trip knowing she was there. There are so much good things to say about Solveig. To name just a few she planted flowers in our garden and cook some delicious meal to have a good surprise for when we came back. Lovely person and perfect house sitter. I greatly recommend! 100%%! Elisa

Seconde expérience avec Solveig très satisfaisante. Nous pouvons partir tranquilles quand elle est là car elle a su créer un lien très proche avec notre chatte et a fait beaucoup preuve d'affection envers elle. Solveig est une personne pleine d'initiatives et curieuse de découvrir la région. Elle est aussi bonne cuisinière et ménagère, et également très érudite. Une Fée !
