Fence-A-Pet installs and services Pet Stop-brand invisible and electric dog fence systems across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, by its own account. The company says it was founded in 1994 and that husband-and-wife owners Tom and Ashley Foley bought it from founder Karl Mueller in 2023. On Google it holds 5 stars from 138 ratings. A recent customer said the installation was completed on time, the dogs were off leash ahead of schedule, and Ashley regularly checked in afterward. A recent customer who had used the company years ago, when Carl was in ownership, said the installation was quick, affordable and low impact on the landscaping. A recent customer said Fence-A-Pet's pricing was reasonable and that they were always on time. A 2025 customer said the fence was damaged by an aerator, and Tom came out the next day and repaired it on the spot at no extra cost. A 2025 customer said Tom was at the house at 8 am and done before 11, and Ashley came in the afternoon for training. A 2025 customer said the company's policy was that you only pay once your dog is fully trained on the fence. A 2024 customer said Tom installed their fence in less than 2 hours.

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!
