Let's Talk!

No pressure, no commitment.

Their routine stays familiar

We follow feeding, walking and sleeping habits, while curating the best days for them.

You get to know us first

Make sure we're the right fit for your pet with a Meet & Greet.

You always know how they're doing

Receive updates, photos and videos throughout their stay.

Attention, not overcrowding

We keep groups intentionally small so every pet gets real attention.

Why choose Kokoa's

We don't believe every pet should have the same day.

"Personalized care" means little on its own, so here's exactly what happens when you leave your pet with us.

Personal care. Familiar routines. Regular updates. A human friend, always there.

The person behind Kokoa's Kindred Souls

Meet Mafalda.

Kokoa's Kindred Souls started from a simple belief: Pet tutors deserve a more balanced, unrestrained life, without worrying if their pets are happy, safe and loved while being cared for in their absence. Mafalda created Kokoa's to offer the kind of care she would want for her own pet, with attention to routine, personality and the small details that help each pet feel safe.

Real stories

What our clients have to say.

"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!"

FAQ

Good questions, honest answers.

Where will my pet stay?

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.

How many pets do you care for at once?

We always keep numbers small, so every pet gets real, individual attention rather than being one of many. We only accept up to 4 dogs at a time.

Will I receive updates?

Yes. You'll receive photos and messages during your pet's stay or visit, so you always know how they're doing.

What happens in an emergency?

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.

Can we meet before I book?

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.
