Fence-A-Pet is the South Shore call for invisible pet-fence installation when the goal is simple: let a dog use the yard safely without building a conventional fence. Based in Whitman, the family-run business is led by Tom and Ashley, with customers describing Tom handling installation and Ashley handling training and follow-up. One recent homeowner said installation and training took the process from consultation to a safe, off-leash yard for a Belgian Malinois; another described the team working with three dogs, including two puppies. The strongest through-line is hands-on containment training paired with responsive service. Recent Google reviewers repeatedly mention quick installation, clear explanations, personalized training, and check-ins after the work: one May 2026 customer said the dogs were off leash ahead of schedule and Ashley kept checking in, while another described the equipment as easy to use and the install as painless. Customers also describe practical repairs: Tom returned after yard work damaged a system and restored it, and another review says the company repaired a broken wire the same day. The history is unusually deep for this niche: Google shows 138 ratings, and the written reviews span 2021–2026. Older customers describe systems working for years, including one homeowner who reported 15 years of service and another who said a system installed two years earlier had worked flawlessly until a wire was broken during yard work. The written record is overwhelmingly favorable, but it is still worth confirming the exact system, collar or app options, training schedule, and repair coverage for your property before booking. A 2024 review also notes that pricing was about average after comparing providers, so a written quote is sensible. Fence-A-Pet looks best suited to dog owners who want installation plus boundary training and continuing support, especially where a conventional fence is impractical. Ask Tom and Ashley to map the property, explain the training plan, and spell out what follow-up support includes for your dogs and yard.
From the initial consult to the final training, Tom and Ashley were professional and extremely friendly. My dogs loved them too!
Tom and Ashley make a great team. They are patient, knowledgeable and flexible. We utilized their services years ago when Carl was in ownership. They have really done an amazing job in continuing a high quality service and product. I feel an enormous peace of mind now that our dogs can roam our yard more freely without venturing or following wild life when they aren’t supposed to. The installation was quick, affordable and a low impact on our landscaping - you can’t even tell it’s there! The training process was so simple, Ashley really spent the time to make sure they understood it and followed up multiple times to make sure everything worked out. In the past when we’ve had a service call or interruption with our fence they were quick to come out and repair it or assist with any issues with the collar. Thank you both so much for all of your help!
Great service. Have uses them for over 12 years with 4 big dogs (shepherd, pointer, shepherd mix and lab mix). Very response and service oriented. Highly recommended.
Tom and Ashley are friendly and easy to work with. The installation was completed on time and professionally. The training of the dogs went very well and they were off leash ahead of schedule. Ashley regularly checked in to make sure all was well. You can tell they both care about the final outcome and not just the original sale. My wife and I would highly recommend Fence-A-Pet
Ashley and Tom are a pleasure to work with. Installation was quick and easy, and the training sessions/education made the experience stress-free. Would highly recommend!
