About Us

Owner of Pig Me Upholstery, Michelene H. is a hard working, and determined entrepreneur. Born and raised in Illinois, Michelene is driven to make and sell products for small pets across the United States, and hopefully expand internationally.  Her passion for guinea pigs began at a young age, and now she has seven of her own. She enjoys thrifting, sewing, crafting, and watching movies or reading books on the couch while cuddling her guinea pigs. Her desire to open a shop came from thrifting beautiful and unique blankets and realizing that thrifting could create a more affordable and unique option for making fleece items. Her moto is that she will make your pets happy, while promoting sustainability. She provides comfort for your pets, and your pockets.
