Another option for pet humans is a human-mimicking softbot. It could easily be 90% human with a body that is completely organic and natural other than the brain. Rather than a normal human brain the softbot could have a biotech processor of similar size and shape but which runs a non-sophont program (a simm). It might be very difficult to tell it's not sophont, but underneath its personality it's just unconscious algorithms.
Such an entity could be kept as a pet with no ethical concern in most of the civilised galaxy. Unlike actual human pets which are often found in less liberal polities.
