Personal Bio

I am Rachel, Owner of Little Squeaks Piggie Boutique. I have always loved animals since a small child, and have had multiple different pets over the years, including rabbits, a hamster, cats, fish, dogs, and even a duck! I live with my husband and daughter in the West Midlands in the UK with our 2 gorgeous (and very mischievous!) pugs and 6 adorable guinea pigs. 

Having mainly had rabbits as a child, who were kept on wood shavings in a hutch outside, I loved the idea of having our piggies indoors with us, and absolutely loved the idea of using fleece for their bedding instead of wood shavings.

We had our first two guinea pigs, Livi and Marnie, a few years ago. I quickly grew to love these gorgeous babies, and their cage grew from a small (temporary) pet store cage to a 4x2 C and C cage and several expansions later to the 10x2 piggie palace our herd of 6 live in today. 

When we first had our piggies I loved the idea of personalising their cage, but struggled to find affordable bedding that was the style, size or colour that I wanted. I therefore started to sew beds and liners for my own piggies, and soon had a massive selection for them. 

While I was sewing for my piggies I discovered a real passion for sewing, and this led to sewing clothes (so many clothes!), accessories and gifts, not to mention a serious love and habit of fabric buying, as people who sew will understand!

When my husband finally had enough of me buying fabric and making the pigs’ new beds, and sewing clothes, clothes and more clothes (and mine and the pigs’ closets were full to burst!) he suggested I start making piggie beds to sell, and Little Squeaks Piggie Boutique was born 🐹

I absolutely love what I do, and hope you and your piggies enjoy my products. I am always happy to help with any queries you may have or if there is anything particular you have in mind please just drop me a message.
