Raleigh Area Professional Pet Sitters

Raleigh Area Professional Pet Sitters Dedicated to connecting people who love pets The Triangle Area Professional Pet Sitters was formally created in 2008 .

Nancy Stevens , owner of Ark Angels Pet Care , had begun inviting other pet sitters to meet for coffee in 2002 when she had just started her own business. The initial purpose was to get to know each other and share our common problems and mistakes . The hope was to form friendships and a network of folks who could help each other . After 6 years of coffee chats, the group grew and we were regularl

y having 10-14 people attend. Once everyone agreed that we should organize into a non profit group and start having regularly scheduled meeting a Board was formed and our Policies and Mission Statement were developed. Jerry Wentz of Homesitters of Raleigh, Ron Wilson of Kildaire Cat n Canary, CIndy Golden of Raleigh Pet Sitters, Denise Doll of Reining Cats and Dogs, Kato George of Bone A Fide Pet Care, Liza Koome of Pipers Pets, Lois Kelly of Four Paws and Laura Campbell of Paws Up Pet Sitting were the initial Board members when the group first organized. In the first 3 years , the group grew to 27 members and raised over$40,000 worth of food,pet care items and money to give to local rescue groups. In more recent years, TAPPS has elected to donate money to 2 rescue groups a year and recently established a scholarship fund for the NC State Vet School. We are local pet sitters who care about each other and our community .The TAPPS Group is now officially dissolved as a non profit group ( 12/29/2015) . We'll continue to refer to each other and get to know one another but there will no longer be a web site nor formal meetings or gatherings.

We have exciting news to share for the start of 2026!💥

In a few weeks, we will start providing twice weekly free spay & neuter for Harnett County residents. A regular donor is funding our surgical team to do this for a period of at least six months so that we can help make a real impact in an area we've identified as in great need. We are so unbelievably grateful for this kind of support!

👉🏾 DISCLAIMER: The applications have been pouring in, so it will take quite some time for owners who have applied to receive responses. For now we will pause on receiving additional applications until we can process these, but will definitely share when the window is open again.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Goathouse friends, we need some help with a couple of things. ❤️

First, the storm left a mess at the refuge that we are still working to clean up. It took down much of the fencing and our handyman has been working to get it back up. It also left a lot of debris and some tree limbs down. The Chicken coup also needs fixing… the ruff, many of the floors, nesting and rusting perches… need redoing, and we need materials and help to do the job.

If you are able to help clean up or have experience and can assist with these handyman items, we would greatly appreciate it. Please call Siglinda at 919-542-6815.


Second, our big, industrial washing machine is broken!!!! We are going to the laundromat in Pittsboro to wash all the beds, blankets, and towels!!! The worst news is that we need $2000 in new parts to fix it…. And we do not have the money to buy it.

We are having a hard time right now to bring in enough money to pay our taxes, the $7,000 we owe to the Veterinary Hospital, the money for payroll due on Monday! I know, you can imagine how stressed I am… PLEASE, friends and family, HELP!!!

Big hugs from the kitties and all of us for your continued support! We cannot do what we do helping these precious kitties without you.

A last minute surprise amendment would give RDUAA unlimited lease duration powers. Yes, unlimited number of years for any developer to misuse our public lands - think quarry adjacent to our Park, think commercial development at Lake Crabtree Park. This bill went to the Senate where the bad amendment...

All these sweet babies have been in the rescue for almost a year 😭 They were all part of our spring kitten season rescues and we are still in shock they are with us!

Spring kitten season is coming up, and we can’t help more in need unless some of our foster homes that have these great cats open up!

We are looking for adoption sponsorship for each of these kitties to increase their chances of finding a great home! Each sponsorship is $100 and we will add your business or any additional wording (such as in honor of…) to any marketing material we use for them (such as your business name on their petfinder page, and at our adoption events).

If interested in sponsoring, please go to LPAH.org/donate and in the notes section mention who you are sponsoring. You can also mail a check to PO Box 765, Sanford, NC 27331.

*If multiple sponsorships come in for the same animal, we will do first come first serve and move the additional sponsorships to others*
