Tom & Ashley Foley

The Foley Family Story

We’re Tom and Ashley Foley, a husband and wife team raising our family right here in the community. High school sweethearts, we have two kids, Tommy and Madeline, along with our two Boxers, Mike and Boo. Between family life, youth sports, and running a business together, our days are full—but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Tom began his career in the pet containment industry in 2005, working as an installer and service technician with Invisible Fence Brand. In 2006, he joined Fence-A-Pet and has since installed thousands of fences and trained thousands of dogs, helping families enjoy safe, confident outdoor time with their pets.

Ashley brings a strong background in animal care. She started in the veterinary field at just 16 and went on to become a long-time veterinary technician, including years at Old Derby Animal Hospital in Hingham. Ashley is often the first person our customers speak with and the last they see, as she personally lets their beloved dog off the leash during training. Her experience and care add an extra layer of trust and understanding to everything we do.

"More than any award, what matters most is the confidence and peace of mind families feel when they work with us."

Meet the caring Fence-A-Pet team Dedicated to your pets’ well-being here for every furry friend

In 2023, we had the privilege of purchasing Fence-A-Pet from its founder, Karl Mueller, and continuing the business he built. For us, it’s not just about installing a fence. It’s about helping families keep their dogs safe while still giving them the freedom to enjoy their yards. There’s nothing better than seeing that moment when a dog gains confidence and a family can finally relax.

We’re proud that our work has earned a reputation for excellence and trust in the pet containment industry. More than any award, what matters most is the confidence and peace of mind families feel when they work with us.

When you choose Fence-A-Pet, you’re working directly with a local family that genuinely cares.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend this company. Their service was professional from start to finish. The training of our dogs was attentive and personalized, and the follow up was also outstanding. The system has vastly improved the lives of our dogs and their owners! Our slightly overweight dog is now slim because he has a freedom to romp in the backyard without any worry of escape. Even a turkey walking by wasn’t enough to entice him to ‘ jump the fence ‘. Highly  recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fence-A-Pet is such a great company! We have been using them for years but just moved back to our main house for the winter and needed to have the fence installed again. We did some yard work and the fence was ruined in the process. I called Tom and he was here the next day to discuss placement of the new fence. Within a couple of days, the new fence was installed and he started training our dogs. Our older 7 year old lab, Kenzie, remembered the RED FLAGS 🚩instantly and didn’t really need full training and just walked around with her. Our new 9 month old lab, Daisy, caught on quickly and did very well and has not escaped as of yet! Ashley also came by with their dogs and trained both dogs again! Very impressed with their prompt service and dedication to training our pups! Kept in touch after as well to make sure pups were doing well! Highly recommend Fence-A-Pet!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so so happy with Fence A Pet. Our dog Penny has so much more freedom now that she can safely be off leash in our yard. She loves it (and so do we!) Ashley and Tom work with you closely during the training process and were always available for questions. We would recommend them to anyone with a dog!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom & Ashley were so great to work with! What struck me was the phone call after my online inquiry. Being a small business owner myself, I tend to utilize email communication more than I’d like to admit. But, Ashley called and took her time with me on the phone while explaining every detail and step to get us to our goal of having a happy dog running free throughout our yard, while keeping our minds at ease that she was safe. Tom’s installation was quick, thorough, and clean as if you’d never know he was there! Ashley’s training and communication throughout was unbelievable. I had to text her a few times with questions and she was always super helpful. I found Tom & Ashley’s business through a Google search and the reviews are what drew me in and I’m happy to say I can now see why!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Fence-A-Pet install an invisible fence for our dog, and the whole experience was wonderful. From the very beginning, the customer service was excellent — friendly, patient, and willing to explain everything in detail. The follow-up was just as great; they didn’t just install it and leave, they checked in to make sure we were comfortable with the system and that our dog was adjusting well. What really stood out is how much they truly care about your pet. It never felt like just a job to them — they genuinely wanted our dog to be safe, happy, and comfortable. Now we have peace of mind, and our dog has the freedom to enjoy the yard safely. I can’t recommend them enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In less than a few weeks from my original inquiry, our fence is already installed, the boys are trained (we have 2 labs), and they are back enjoying their yard! It was an INCREDIBLE experience from start to finish. Ashley and Tom (the owners) walked us through every step of the way… super professional, great follow through, amazing product, and just all around lovely humans. I swear, it is affordable (way less than I had been told through other companies), yet the service is far superior. I had to come on here to share this, as I know we all love our pets and want them to enjoy their yard, yet stay safe. We are so thrilled and only regret not having done this sooner!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best experience with Ashley & Tom!! The whole experience was seamless, from scheduling the installation date to the follow-up trainings. Both Ashley and Tom are super knowledgeable on training pups to respond well to the electric fence and how to best support your dog throughout the first few weeks. My four year old golden retriever was trained on the fence in only a few days and now can freely enjoy our backyard. It’a given me such peace of mind! It’s also comforting knowing that Ashley and Tom are available for any product support, questions, additional trainings, or tech support should we need it! They’re both thorough, so kind, and were a pleasure to work with! I can’t recommend them enough!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I has a pet stop fence 20+ years ago & I just upgraded to the new pet stop device for my 2 dogs. Tom & Ashley are Amazing. Tom was at my house at 8 am & done before 11. Ashley then shows up in the afternoon for training. I have 2 dogs & Ashley did a great job in training. One of my dogs has a ton of energy & I am always afraid he is going to see a bunny or squirrel & run into the street. This has totally stopped both my dogs from leaving the yard, when they see something, they would usually chase The Pet Stop APP also allows you train your dog with small corrections. It is already working on the jumping problem one of my dog has, when someone enters the house I am now done training with Ashley, but she told me that Ashley, Tom & Pet Stop are always there is we have any questions of concerns Ashley also made multiple follow up texts for updates on the training I couldn’t be happier with the service I got from Tom & Ashley at Pet Stop
