Coming from a technical background, Richard has spent most of his career in IT related sales and management roles. Prior to launching Pet Sitter Plus in 2009, Richard worked in new business development in the legal IT sector and held a variety of roles in larger corporations including IBM.



Taking a sabbatical in 2006, Richard worked alongside his wife Jackie in their pet services company where he developed a keen understanding of the requirements of the pet sitting industry, but he also really enjoyed being "hands on" as a pet sitter / dog walker for 4 years.



Richard is CEO of Pet Sitter Plus and has the responsibility for all aspects of running the business but he still works as PSP software coach covering the USA and UK.
