No chaos. No cages. just a loving groomer, happy dogs, and great hair days.

Welcome to Groomed by Krista, where your dog’s comfort comes first. With 25+ years of professional grooming experience and a serious soft spot for dogs of all shapes and sizes, I specialize in one-on-one, stress-free grooming in a cozy home-based studio right here in Morganton, GA — just 15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge.

I’m all about calm energy, kind handling, and a personalized approach to dog grooming. Whether you’ve got a senior schnauzer who needs a gentle touch, a nervous rescue who’s still learning to trust, or a high-maintenance doodle with a challenging coat, your fur-kid is in caring, capable hands.

Some dogs just hate noisy salons, crate time, and getting rushed through a grooming “conveyor belt”. And honestly, who can blame them? Good news. That’s not how I roll!

Start-to-Finish Grooms, Always

At Groomed by Krista, it’s just me and your dog, start to finish. No assembly lines, no rush jobs, no waiting around in a crate while the groomer works on someone else’s dog. And yes, I do talk to them like they’re a person.

Compassionate Care for Older Pups

Senior dogs need a little extra patience, gentleness, and time. Whether your dog has arthritis, vision issues, or just moves a little slower these days, I adjust the pace to keep them comfortable every step of the way.

Low-Stress Grooming Techniques

Scared of the dryer? Nervous about nail trims? I get it! Whether your dog is anxious, wiggly, or still learning what grooming is all about, I’ll adjust the routine to create a calm, low-stress experience that puts your pup at ease.

Grooms That Fit Your Dog—and Your Lifestyle

We’ll talk through your dog’s coat, your care routine, and your preferences before the clippers come out. Whether you want functional, fluffy, or somewhere in between, we’ll work together to find the perfect style for you and your dog.

Located in Morganton, GA – Tucked Away, But Close to Town.

Groomed by Krista is a private grooming studio nestled in a quiet outbuilding on my property—just 15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, GA. It’s peaceful, low-key, and perfect for dogs who don’t love big, busy grooming shops.

Post-groom aftercare. Need to run some errands while your dog is at the spa? No problem. Your pup is welcome to hang out in my calm grooming space while you’re out and about.

Weekenders and visitors welcome. Passing through with your furry co-pilot? Explore downtown Blue Ridge, hit the trails, or ride the Scenic Railway while your pup gets fluffed, buffed, and de-stinkified.

Flexible appointment scheduling. By appointment only, with evening and weekend availability. Because not everyone can drop off at 9AM on a Tuesday.
