Meet Your Local Team
I have always been a dog lover and hardly remember a time in my life when I didn’t have at least one dog. From the finest pure breeds to well-honed hunting breeds, and even to the lowly mutts, I’ve loved them all. Throughout my life, like most dog owners, I’ve had my pets chained to trees and confined to kennels of various sizes. After purchasing an underground fence for our Golden Retriever, Zeke, my life changed. Zeke had the run of our yard and truly became a part of our family. Later, I got into this business. It has not simply been my business plan, but my mission in life, to free as many dogs as I can from their kennels and chains, to enhance their daily interactions with their owners, and to truly make them part of a family. Dogs confined to small spaces are really just prisoners. With the best equipment and training, we set those dogs free and turn prisoners into pets. Meet Patrick, owner of Pet Stop of the Foothills, attended NC State University and completed his degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Science in 1984. After working in finance and sales for over two decades, Patrick needed a change. A Pet Stop franchise seemed the perfect marriage of Patrick’s love of animals and a passion for the outdoors. In June 2008, Patrick started Pet Stop of the Foothills. Since then, his company has shown steady growth and customer loyalty attributable only to his outstanding service and passion for pet safety. Pet Stop of the Foothills has been installing underground, invisible fencing for over 5 years for happy pet owners. We love pets and our products and services are pet friendly. Our trained technician provides training and service for our Pet Stop products. Our dog-friendly system is fully guaranteed to work gently but effectively for any dog breed. We service both North Carolina and Virginia dog owners.

“Patrick is great to work with! He set up the fence quickly and worked well with our dog Zoey. He checked back with us to see how things were going and came out again to address our concerns. I would highly recommend Patrick and his company.”
