Pets are non-combative, do not level, die, loot, or perform any action that assists the player. Most pets are just for looks and simply follow the player around, these are referred to as companion pets or vanity pets. Trappable pets, Achievement reward pets, and the fox pets bought from Nick's Shop with runes have a passive team buff when they are summoned. Several epic pets are also required for Pet Achievements.
There are no requirements to buy, own, or use any pet, nor are there any limits as to how many pets a player can own. Only one pet can be summoned at a time though and summoning another pet will replace the one that's already out.
When summoned, pets will attempt to follow the player but some are slower than others and tend to despawn if they are unable to reach the player after an extended period of time. Water is also an issue with pets as they seem unable to find a direct route to the player, even in most shallow water. If the player goes through a load screen (teleport, dungeon port, log on/off) or resyncs, they will need to re-summon their pet.
Several pets offer buffs and for certain pets it takes 30 seconds for the buff to activate, while other pets will have an instant buff when summoned.
As of Update v3.0.0.0 pets are now shared between characters on the same account. Once you have a pet, use it and it will appear under Spells (similar to Mounts) and be removed from your bag. With this change, pets are listed in the Auction House under Consumable, rather than Consumable > Pets (that category is now empty.)

Dropped Pets[]
Pets can be dropped and looted off monsters all around Haradon and in certain dungeons. Some of these are good/uncommon quality pets, some are superior/rare, and some are epic. All, however, are extremely rare to obtain, and have a very small chance of dropping. Epic dungeon pets only drop in Legendary mode.
The following list does not include pets dropped by World Bosses.

Trappable Pets[]
Trappable Pets can be caught like Trappable Mounts (using Bond Stones, Capture Traps, Intimate Wands and Bewitched Censors), but are generally harder to catch since they run faster and are harder to select due to their size. However, knowledge of where these pets spawn and where they path are ideal to catching one.
Note: Trappable Pets are on the same spawn cycle as mounts within the same zone. As in, if a mount is up in that zone a pet will not also be up. Catching a mount can spawn a pet and vice versa.
The buffs these pets provide will not stack with the same buff, but using a +14 spell crit stan will stack with a +28 spell crit lamb. Much like how a normal Petit's buff will stack with an Enchanted Petit.
