What Customers Are Saying About DogWatch Florida

Wonderful product and fantastic service

Robin and I have had the DogWatch system for over 15 years. The system has worked flawlessly the entire time. We are so pleased with its performance and keeping our dogs safe and in our yard. Robin and I would recommend Tom and DogWatch to anyone as we are beyond pleased. The price that we paid for this system and the use that we have had over the 15 years is priceless. Thank you Tom and your staff for providing a wonderful product and fantastic service.

I feel the DogWatch system is a far superior product

DogWatch (Tom Schmidt) is very professional in their installation of the fence, training of use, support and maitenance of their product. I have known Tom Schmidt for 17 years he is always "Johnny on the Spot". I had the Invisible Fence system prior to the DogWatch system and I feel the DogWatch system is a far superior product.

We're so glad we had Dogwatch put in our Hidden Fence System

I wanted to thank you again for coming to my rescue! The service that I receive from DogWatch is unmatched. You and your staff at DogWatch have been wonderful. I have recommended you to all my friends and will continue to do so in the future.


We're so glad we had Dogwatch put in our Hidden Fence System - our lab loved to run away as soon as he got outside, but since we've put in the fence, he hasn't left our property once......not even when other dogs come by. The system has never given us a problem and when we did call for a new battery or questions regarding training, Tom and Kristin's response was always prompt and professional. They were also very patient and gave us the encouragement we needed with the initial training. We liked our system so much, we recommended it to our neighbors who have two dogs, one which we thought would never stay on his property , but it works great for them now as well. What a relief it is to be able to go outside and know that your dog is safe within the boundaries of your property. Thank you, Dogwatch!

Jody G. and Piper too!

Money well spent for the peace of mind it provides

Having had a Dogwatch system installed at our home up north, we knew when we got our second dog that we'd install one here in Sanibel. We knew from the get-go that Tom knew his stuff, so we had him do ours here. You would never know that the line had been installed around the property. He left it exactly as it was before, with barely a pebble out of place. The same for the transmitter box which he was neatly able to install in a location where it wouldn't be seen.


Our older dog was a quick learn as he was familiar with the flags and the beep signal from the collar. Our four month old Great Dane puppy who is a giant goof-ball we were sure would not get the drift, but with just the "beep" turned on the collar, Tom had him avoiding the flag line after a few minutes.


How about someone showing up when they said they would? Amazing. Tom was here on time and we hardly even knew he was doing the installation.


We couldn't recommend Tom Schmidt and DogWatch more highly. Having the in-ground fence is like buying a life insurance policy for your dog. Money well spent for the peace of mind it provides.

This should be your first and last call

DogWatch is clearly the absolute leader offering Invisible Fencing for your dog, for a multitude of reasons. I cannot say enough about this company. After significant research, the features of this company are more advanced and customer friendly than any other outfit and the firm is locally owned, which is a game changer. The owner is hands-on, responsive, clearly engaged in making the customer happy and does not hesitate to go the extra mile. He knows his subject matter, indicated that I could call his cell phone at anytime with an issue and their pricing structure was direct, fair and reasonable. As a small business owner myself, it was refreshing to find a company and owner who is an honest broker, a hard worker and is intent on an excellent customer experience, which are many of the values this county was built upon. This should be your first and last call.

Having a local business install it was great

We are so happy that we had DogWatch install our invisible fencing system. Tom Schmidt, the owner, is so friendly, personable and helpful. Having a local business install it was great because when we had a question, we called and he came right over. The price is reasonable and our new puppy caught on immediately. Now he is able to run around our big yard and burn energy!

Amazing service

Scheduled a consultation, owner showed up on-time, was very professional, knowledgeable, and honest. We thought we knew exactly what we needed.He helped us understand our options and save money! It is refreshing to discover there are still HONEST business owners out there that put the needs of their customers over their bottom-line. I highly recommend them over any other company. Locally owned and serviced. Thank you Dog Watch of Sarasota!!

Thanks Tom

Tom was incredibly helpful through the install and training process! We LOVE the smart system with battery backup as it has told us when a GFCI breaker in the house has been tripped and notifies Dog Watch the barrier may be compromised.


Our 2 Belgian Malinois have trained to the barrier easily and humanely.


I must say our “runner” now loves to stay home now that the barrier is in place.


Thanks Tom for having a wonderful product as well as the personal service to ensure our Smart Dog Watch system works as it should.

We are extremely happy with this company

I'm a veterinarian in Southwest Florida. We are previous Invisible Fence customers. After a neighbor's recommendation, we decided to get some information from Tom at DogWatch of Southwest Florida. Tom was on time, knowledgeable and thoroughly explained their hidden fence system. In my opinion their system is technologically superior to the competition and much more user friendly. We decided this system would be a better choice for our dog and Tom has already completed the installation. We are extremely happy with this company!

 I would highly recommend you and Dog Watch

Mike and I are so pleased with the Hidden Fence System from Dog Watch. The Fence combined with great service made the experience so satisfying. We were really worried about our Gigi, as she is so active, and chases everything. Thought for sure she’d go through it. But, both Gigi and her sister Sydney are doing so great! They get so much exercise and love the freedom to run and play, and chase to a certain point. By the end of the day they are so exhausted and ready to relax. I would highly recommend you and Dog Watch, as it provides a safe and comforting way to allow our girls their freedom. Thanks Again!

We love our invisible fence

Tom was great to work with. He was much more knowledgeable than the other companies we spoke to and the price was very fair.

I also liked your GENTLE way of training them

Lily and Daisy are doing great with the fence. I truly never thought it would be that quick and easy to train them. I also liked your GENTLE way of training them. I would definitely recommend you and your product to anyone who is looking into purchasing a hidden fence system. Thanks again.

Great customer service

Tom literally came to my rescue! We were leaving for vacation and there was a breach in my diy dog fence! Tom agreed to come out and help find the break and possibly fix it if possible... rats had destroyed so much of it but still Tom was willing to fix. After seeing the difference in diy and professional wire, collars and transmitter I decided it was worth it to have Tom install a new fence. He showed up on time, did what he said he would and all with a smile on his face! Great customer service!! Thanks so much Tom!!
