Welcome to Amarok Canine

An Established Local, Independent Canine Business in South Wales with many years experience in caring for dogs. After bringing home our third puppy to care for, whilst working part time & volunteering at the RSPCA, we decided in 2009 to introduce a service offering a flexible, friendly solution to juggling dog ownership along with people’s busy life commitments.

Amarok is able to assist you in providing essential care for your dog(s) with our tailored services. We began by offering dog walking and pet sitting in Alltwen & Pontardawe, but have since found that there is a great demand throughout the Neath and Swansea Valley’s for a professional alternative to dog kennels. Rather than send your dog to a kennel while you are on holiday – why not try our pet sitting service at your home or our luxury dog home boarding package where your dog could be cared for in our friendly home environment. As well as your dog(s) we could also look after other family pet friends as part of an additional service. We aim to  follow a routine that coincides with your family’s lifestyle.

Whats in the name, Amarok? 

The name ‘Amarok’ has derived from the Inuit language meaning ‘Artic wolf’ and is considered by the Eskimo’s to be the king of the wild. ‘Amarok’ is also described in Inuit mythology as being a gigantic, lone hunting wolf.  The modern day wolf is believed to be the ancestor of the domestic dog and is historically closely entwined with human culture. It is the unique relationship between dogs and humans that Amarok Canine embraces. Amarok Canine encompasses both an independent approach as well as developing the positive values that pack behaviour encourages. Our family run business endorses these principles.
