Persnickety, “Fastidious or fussy”; “Obsessive about mundane details, demanding for precision” is good in this context, and also fastidious, “Excessively particular, demanding, or fussy about details”;
“Difficult to please; quick to find fault”.

The term scrupulous is often used to indicate a demanding nature, often with regard to ones own behaviour. Webster’s Collegiate defines it as
extremely careful to do the precisely right, proper, or correct thing in every last detail
Another option is punctilious, also often used to describe the conduct of the decribed person. Collins defines it as
1.paying scrupulous attention to correctness in etiquette
2.attentive to detail

For a neutral option, you could use «selective», or «discriminating», so long as your context makes it clear that the discrimination exercised is not racist, sexist, etc.

I often hear high-maintenance bandied about for this sort of person:
(figuratively, pejorative, of a person) requiring a lot of attention
or reassurance; emotionally needy
It suggests someone who requires a lot of work i.e. is difficult to please.
