There's mtap:

But it doesn't mention PET support (and it has special commands
for Vic-20 and C16 tapes so maybe that means something, or maybe
not).

There's also WAV-PRG which only mentions C64 tapes, but it does
have a very healthy alternatives page:
http://wav-prg.sourceforge.net/alternatives.html

This actually mentions the PET, but it's a dedicated device:
