Got to the location where we were supposed to meet on time and she texted that she was running out to the gas station and would be back soon. Waited in the parking lot for 30 minutes for her to let me know she was back but she never did. Thankfully I drove to a different parking lot and saw the van. Texted her that we were outside of the van and she comes out 5 minutes later with a terrible attitude towards me. I could hear several dogs in the van which I was not aware of and would not of been okay with if I know considering I have a cat. She said if I was uncomfortable I could either comeback in 30 minutes which did not work with my schedule or she couldn't see me today. Moral of the story I absolutely do not recommend. Look elsewhere for grooming services.

My rental was not conducive to winter time dog bathing. Thankfully I found the wash n waggin van while exploring Boone. I jotted the number down and gave them a call. I believe they serve watauga and ashe counties. Norma answered right away, we set up a time and she called when she was on her way. My two pups are big dogs and Norma greeted them enthusiastically. She plugged in to my house and hustled the dirty ones into her mobile salon (van) and I made a quick trip to the store. When I returned, they were just finishing up. The dogs looked and smelled incredible. Their coats really shine! They've also stayed stink free for longer than at home baths. Norma did a great job, was professional and friendly, has a great dog side manner and I'm so glad I found her. The long trip back to California will be much more pleasant.

The best sign is that Jake does not run and hide when she drives up in the yard. He is not the least bit anxious with her and that is a sign that she is gentle and really good with dogs. Her cost is about $10 more than some other groomers in town but it is worth the cost because I have a home-based business and can keep on working while Jake gets his hair cut. Our daughter works at the Boone Animal Hospital and Norma has a very good reputation for quality cuts and being really good with dogs with the folks who work there and their customers.

I have been coming here for 5 years, to span two different dogs and many different dog and cat friends. While a little pricier than other options in the area, this pet store is stocked with items that are well vetted and understood by the owners and employees personally. Every employee can provide genuine input and assistance into any pet related needs whether it's food, treats, harnesses or clothing, toys, etc. There are many familiar faces that have stayed working here over the years, which is always a plus. I also love what they do for the community, helping police dogs and sponsoring little events, such as around the holidays where they give free treats and coupons or other items. Follow their social media to stay up to date! There is a bath you can use (I haven't used it yet but have almost needed to so many times) where they provide all the materials and do the clean up. It's on a first come first serve basis, but you can always call to gauge how busy it is. Student discounts offered only on certain days. Not best budget for broke students but the assurance I have with the quality of the items (esp food) I'm buying for my dog is worth it.

When I picked my dogs up, I was charged more than expected and told they were "fat," which felt…read moreunprofessional. More importantly, I was very disappointed in the quality of the grooming. My youngest dog, in particular, appears to have received only a partial grooming. The groomer mentioned she had to "wing it," and it shows there are uneven patches in her coat, her belly was only partially trimmed, and her tail and hygiene areas were not cleaned up. It's been four days since their appointment, and neither dog smells fresh or feels clean. In the past, my younger dog's coat has always felt much softer and lighter after grooming, but this time there's no noticeable improvement. I've had to schedule an appointment with another groomer to have her redone. I'm very disappointed in this experience and would not recommend High Country Grooming.

We are the pet parents of a stupendous (in our opinion) 6 1/2 year old Pittie named Sargent Major. We live in a pretty remote part of the state and normal every day sights such as cars, people and other "pets" are a rare occurrence. Hence Sarge isn't familiar with them and could be a bit aggressive when he encounters them. We have never boarded him for either daycare or extended boarding however we recently needed to have him at a boarding facility. Our nerves were way up there and the stress we felt was off the charts. My husband spoke to LAUREN and detailed our concerns, spoke of our love for and concern about having an unsocialized "puppy" who needed her services. We had spoken candidly with a few other people in the pet care field and we were informed more times than not that they were really not able to accommodate us (for which we were completely understanding). LAUREN asked all the pertinent questions, answered all of ours and suggested a one day orientation type stay for him to see how he would do (being his first ever time away from home) and to also see how they would be able to interact with Sarge. Night before we packed up his favorite blanket, his favorite toy, his food and snacks. The day dawned and Sarge was off to Fetching Ridge Pet Hotel and Spa. Sign in and drop off was a breeze. More comforting was how upbeat LAUREN AND STAFF were when we entered. The handoff was seamless and with a bit of apprehension Sarge was led off to his adventure. No phone calls from Fetching Ridge all day gave us confidence, apparently they must have been doing well at their trial. When we went to pick him up later that day a very smiling LAUREN greeted us and assured us that our day camper had done very well and behaved well! We received a full report about his free time activities, his feeding and interactions. When Sarge was brought out to us we were taking home a VERY HAPPY and TIRED dog. I realize that this has been a bit wordy, but I HAD to say in every sense with all the words that if you have a pet that needs grooming, boarding, daycare or all of it you MUST do your pets and yourselves the favor and allow Fetching Ridge Pet Hotel and Spa to take care of it! Sarge will be boarding there for 4 nights this weekend, we are headed on our own adventure with a calm and certainty that our boy is in the BEST CARE. Thank you Lauren and staff from the bottom of our hearts for caring for our puppy and us at the same time.
