house pet
Indoor animal friend
A house pet is an animal kept indoors as a companion rather than for utility.
Dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish are typical house pets, distinguished from outdoor animals or those kept for work or food.
The term emphasizes domesticity: The landlord allows house pets under twenty pounds.
Sometimes used figuratively for someone treated as a favorite or kept close: He's the boss's house pet.
