Pets are summonable companions which grant bonus stats and passive beneficial effects. Pets can be leveled up, increasing the effectiveness of their benefits. Players can have only one pet active at any time, and will receive only that pet's bonuses. Inactive pets do not grant stats or passive effects. While summoned, they are visible in the world as mobs or floating custom heads.

Every pet belongs to one of six types, modeled after skills (Combat, Mining, Fishing, Foraging, Farming, and Alchemy) present in SkyBlock. A pet's type determines the effectiveness of the skill experience given to it. Informally, it also hints at the type of buffs granted by the pet. For example, the Tiger Pet is classified as a combat pet with three abilities granting buffs benefiting combat. Note that this is not always true of all pets. Exceptions include the Lion Pet, whose foraging type does not match its abilities.

Pets Menu
The pets menu can be opened by using the command  (empty by default), or by accessing it from the SkyBlock Menu. Players can see the level of their pets as well as the stats and abilities their pets grant from this screen. This screen is also used to summon and unsummon pets. Additionally, players can toggle the visibility of pets within the world from this screen.

Pet Score
Players gain additional Pet Score for every unique pet they collect. Higher rarity pets will grant more pet score. Reaching thresholds of Pet Score award additional.

Rarity
Most pets have multiple rarities and also gain increased effectiveness at higher rarities. Higher rarities also grant greater stat boosts and even more effective perks.

Additionally, most pets gain passive abilities only present at higher rarities.

There are four exceptions to this pattern.
 * The Snowman Pet has only 2 abilities.
 * The Pig Pet and the Rock Pet begin with two abilities while . It gains an ability at for a total of 3 abilities, and at  it has 4 abilities.
 * The Phoenix Pet at grants 4 abilities instead of 3.

Crafted Pet Rarity
When a pet recipe is crafted with an Enchanted Egg, the resulting rarity can be, , or.

When a Super Enchanted Egg is used, the resulting rarity is instead or. When crafted this way, the resulting pet has a base 80% chance of becoming, and 20% chance of becoming , that is affected by , gained either via the Taming skill or Pet Luck potions.

Upgrading Rarity
At the Pet Collector's Shop, there is an NPC named Kat in the garden attached to it. Kat will take a pet and upgrade its rarity at the cost of resources. The cost varies depending on the pet, and its rarity and level. There is a discount in the coin cost based on the level of the pet before it is upgraded The upgraded pet will have its level adjusted based on its XP.

For example, a pet with 4.6 million cumulative XP (level 86) will be adjusted to level 81 when it is upgraded to.

Leveling
Summoned pets can be leveled up to level 100. Pets gain experience equal to the player's skill experience if the skill and type are the same, or 25% of the player's skill experience if the skill does not match the pet type (except for the Alchemy skill where it rewards 1/12th of the experience instead). The amount of xp that pets gain can also be increased by leveling up Taming, which gives +1% pet XP per level, and giving them Pet Items, which can give boosts to pet XP from specific skills or all skills. Pets do not gain experience from the Taming skill. Instead, it occurs in reverse- the skill gains XP at 25% of the active pet's rate.

For example, with a summoned Magma Cube Pet (a Combat pet), 100% of combat experience earned will grant as much XP to that pet. However, Mining XP will give only 25% of the XP earned to the pet.

Another way to level pets is by giving them carrot candies. There are three types of carrot candies, each giving different amounts of pet XP: Simple Carrot Candy, Great Carrot Candy and Superb Carrot Candy, which are unlocked from Carrot Collection 2, 6 and 8 respectively. Pets can consume a maximum of ten candies during their lifetime. As an example, after using three Simple Carrot Candies and five Great Carrot Candies, the pet will only be able to use two more candies.

Note that consuming a skill XP boost potion will also increase experience gains for the active pet.

List of Pets
There are 44 pets, which grant a variety of different benefits and advantages.

Trivia

 * If your inventory is full and a mob you killed drops a pet, the pet will drop on the ground instead of going into your stash. It is unconfirmed whether or not that the person who earned the pet has priority, however it is a great deal safer to try keep your inventory as far from full as possible when farming/hunting for pets.
 * An update (dubbed Pets v2) had been released on May 6, 2020. Additions include more pets, a new skill, pet items, and more.
 * The update highly resembles Pokémon. Patch 0.7.8 added Pet Items that resembles holding items in Pokémon. The update added in Carrot Candy that resembles Rare Candy and simulates the same effect of giving exp to the Pokémon in the first few Pokémon games.
