Whether it's a walk, a day of play or a full stay, your pet gets the same personal attention every time.
We follow feeding, walking and sleeping habits, while curating the best days for them.
Make sure we're the right fit for your pet with a Meet & Greet.
Receive updates, photos and videos throughout their stay.
We keep groups intentionally small so every pet gets real attention.
No two pets are the same! Different species, breeds, ages, individuals, all have their own needs and preferences, just like we do. So why should they all have the same routines?!Our care is designed around each animal’s unique traits and routine, adding proper enrichment and physical exercises to help soothe their minds and bodies.And because not every day should feel the same, we also like to bring new adventures into their lives whenever possible. After all, just like us, they only have this one life and they deserve to enjoy it fully (and safely)!
Mafalda has been taking care of animals in many different situations: from volunteering in pet shelters and wildlife rescue centers, to saving and fostering abandoned pets, and sharing her days with her 12 y.o. pup Spook. Now she is here to give that same love and care to your kindred soul, be it furry, fluffy or even scaly. All pets are welcome."I decided to start Kokoa's Kindred Souls from a simple belief: Pet parents deserve a more balanced, unrestrained life, without worrying if their pets are happy, safe and loved while being cared for in their absence.Since then, being surrounded by them all the time made me want to do more, so my mission has evolved into being able to give the absolute best care experience to as many pets and humans as possible, which also means taking care of their overall physical and mental health. I want us to be more than someone that stays with your pet while you're away, I want Kokoa's to become your helping companion in the wonderfully chaotic experience that is life as a pet parent."

"Mafalda provides an amazing service, I can see my dog loves her and her 2 dogs too. Besides adapting to my dog’s routine (during daycare or overnight stays) she also shares great tips and suggestions. Bonus points: her natural biscuits are my dog’s favourites! Highly recommend her services."

"My dog had a great experience with Mafalda, Samira and Sora. I had to travel unexpectedly and my usual pet sitters weren’t available, so I contacted Mafalda. From the very beginning, everything was easygoing and I quickly felt I could trust her. Everything was transparent, with the dogs’ well-being always coming first. I would definitely recommend Mafalda and her dogs!"

"Oh my what a fabulous dog sitter. My girl could not of been better cared for. She was with Kokoa for two nights while we explored the area and did doggy free things. We had regular updates, all her needs were taken care of. She is a complex little thing with loads of meds and allergies and Kokoa took it all in her stride and gave me some helpful tips to help my girl as well. I highly recommend this service. Kokoa goes over and above and is very professional. Above all Amber had a fabulous time. Thank you so much for our stress free break."

"We left our dog Fitzy with Mafalda over Christmas and New Years and we were really happy about how it all went. Mafalda was very kind, professional and caring with Fitzy and made us feel comfortable from the start about leaving him with her. Whilst we were away Mafalda sent us pictures and updates on how he was doing, and took great care of his diet, adding lots of natural healthy new foods to his diet (which I am sure he loved!). She took Fitzy on lovely long daily walks and to play with the frisbee, and sent us photos and videos. She even took him to the beach for a run around! Overall we were very happy with how everything went and would recommend Mafalda to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets."

"It was my first time using a petsitting service, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Kokoa was extremely attentive and detailed, taking the time to understand everything about my dog, Estrelinha, to make sure the whole experience went smoothly, first and foremost for Estrelinha, and of course also for me. Kokoa sent me daily updates, which really put my mind at ease, seeing that everything was going well and that Estrelinha was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Kokoa for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring petsitter!"

Boarding and daycare take place in a real home environment, not a commercial kennel, so your pet will stay with us in a calm and safe place.
We always keep numbers small, so every pet gets real, individual attention rather than being one of many. We only accept up to 4 pets at a time.
Yes. You'll receive photos and messages during your pet's stay or visit, so you always know how they're doing.
In case of an emergency you will always be contacted immediately. Your vet's details are kept on file as part of every care plan, and our top priority will always be the pet's well-being.
Always. Every new pet gets a free Meet & Greet, so both sides can be sure it's the right fit, with no pressure at all.
We want to know all about their personality, routine and needs, and show you how Kokoa's might be the right fit.
