On The Road

Luxury Pet Grooming offers concierge canine pampering – and owner Katie Horowitz makes house calls.
There’s a new dog grooming service on the road on the Plateau, and we do mean “on the road.”
Katie Horowitz of Luxury Pet Grooming is ready to roll her modernly-equipped mobile grooming van to your front door making life for pampered pets and their owners convenient and stress-free.
Simply open your door and step your pet into the welcoming arms of Katie who has over 23 years’ experience as a dog groomer, having graduated from the New York Dog Grooming School in 2001, and spending each year since perfecting her craft.
Initially working for others in the Manhattan and Soho areas, Katie and her husband Mitch soon opened their own grooming business in New Jersey which they operated for 18 years. All that changed when they vacationed in Western North Carolina and realized that this was where they were meant to be.
The natural beauty of our area, coupled with the opportunity to spread their wings beyond the confines of city life into the wide-open spaces of the mountains, proved a lure too large to ignore. You’ve heard the saying “come for a weekend, stay for a lifetime?” They are living it!
They quickly found acreage large enough for their dream mini-farm, which is spacious enough to accommodate their family, their kennel of champion Portuguese Water Dogs, and a family of farm animals. They are cherishing every minute of their newly-found country home.
While life on the farm is rewarding, Katie’s first love is grooming and her extensive experience with all shapes, sizes, temperaments, and breeds of dogs made her realize that the one-on-one experience of a mobile unit would be ideal for dogs and owners. It’s much more convenient for pet parents, and much less stressful for dogs who feel safer and more comfortable in their home environment.
Her state-of-the-art van is fully equipped to handle the process from start to finish. Lest you’re envisioning a noisy generator-powered van of the past rest assured that the Luxury Pet Grooming van is battery-powered and whisper quiet.
Katie is also passionate about the health and well-being of all her critter customers and uses only holistic organic products on her four-legged clients. She keeps abreast of the latest products and advances by frequently attending dog grooming expos.
Whether you’re looking for a basic groom or a specialty trim to your breed’s standard, Luxury Pet Grooming is the one to call at (828) 707-4279. Also, visit their website at luxurypetgrooming.net and explore their Facebook and Instagram pages at Luxury Pet Grooming by Katie.
