Pets were released in the June 2019 update (Summer Update); however, the "Pets" section of the backpack was added long before that. Hatching Eggs is the primary way of unlocking pets and operate similarly to Gifts but take longer to hatch. Players can also buy some specific types of pets using 
Robux or event currencies. Pets can also be favorited by selecting them and clicking the star without holding them which causes it to equip the pet.
New players who enter the Nursery for the first time will receive a free Starter Egg, which is only able to hatch into a Cat or a Dog, from Sir Woofington.
Types of Pets
There are 5 main types of pets in these ranks: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra-Rare, and Legendary. The kind of pet players can hatch mostly depends on chance; the more expensive an egg is, the greater the chance players have of hatching rarer pets. There are currently 82 total pets players can hatch from eggs.
Another type of pet is 'Event', which is a temporary pet that is removed from all inventories after period of time. The three event pets as of now are Scoob, Pumpkin (Pet), and 2D Kitty. Event pets age as fast as common pets, and in the inventory, they are classified with common items, pets, and vehicles. Although the Pet Rock wasn't an event pet, it was an uncommon pet. Event pets are not put on the nursery board, but the Pet Rock has.
Players can only get Safari pets from the Safari Eggs; likewise, they can only get Jungle pets from Jungle Eggs. This pattern continues with other limited Eggs such as the Christmas Egg, Farm Egg, Aussie Egg, Fossil Egg, Ocean Egg, Mythic Egg, and Woodland Egg.
The pets that cannot hatch from eggs are the following: Horse, Griffin, Penguin, Golden Penguin, Sloth, Zombie Buffalo, Shadow Dragon, Bat Dragon, Evil Unicorn, Bee, King Bee, Queen Bee, Frost Dragon, Elf Hedgehog, Elf Shrew, Reindeer, Santa Dog, Panda, Rat, Golden Rat, Monkey, Business Monkey, Toy Monkey, Ninja Monkey, Albino Monkey, Monkey King, Pet Rock, Scoob, Kitsune, Ginger Cat, Toucan, Starfish, Bat, Albino Bat, Pumpkin (Pet), Ghost Bunny, Skele-Rex, Cerberus, Robo Dog, Snowman, Lynx, Musk Ox, Yeti, Snow Owl, Frost Fury, Ox, Lunar Ox, Metal Ox, Guardian Lion, Ladybug, Golden Ladybug, Diamond Ladybug, 2D Kitty, Peacock, Lamb, Red Squirrel, Cobra, 2021 Uplift Butterfly, Axolotl, Halloween Black Mummy Cat, Halloween Blue Scorpion, Halloween Evil Dachshund, Halloween White Mummy Cat, Halloween White Skeleton Dog, Halloween Golden Mummy Cat, Halloween White Ghost Dragon, Walrus, Summer Walrus, Golden Walrus, Snow Leopard, Husky, Puffin, St Bernard, Ice Golem, Giant Black Scarab, Giant Blue Scarab, Giant Gold Scarab, Lunar Tiger, Lunar White Tiger, Lunar Gold Tiger, Dancing Dragon, Lavender Dragon, Abyssinian Cat, Rock, Mechapup, Albatross, Golden Albatross, Diamond Albatross, Ribbon Seal, Winged Horse, Ibex, Goat, Capricorn, and Space Whale.

All pets can be made neon, except non-tradable pets like the Scoob, Pumpkin (Pet), Pet Rock, and 2D Kitty.

Trivia
- There was a pet in Adopt Me! that was called a Pet Rock. It could only be obtained temporarily in the April Fools 2020 Event. It is the only uncommon pet to be fly and ride without needing to feed it a potion and one of the only pets that cannot be hatched by an egg.
- On May 4, 2020, a temporarily available pet called a Scoob was added into the game. Scoob is the second pet that is flyable and rideable without feeding it a potion, the first one being the Pet Rock. It is a reference to the TV show Scooby-Doo and was created to promote the Scoob! movie. By making a Scoob fully grown, the player obtains detective pet wear. It disappeared after May 18, 2020. It was the first pet with the 'Event' rarity.
- On October 28, 2020, a temporary available pet called Pumpkin was added into the game. It could be obtained by playing the Pumpkin Smash mini game from the Halloween 2020 event. Pumpkin is the third pet that is flyable and rideable without feeding it a potion, the first being Pet Rock, second being the Scoob pet, and fourth being the 2D Kitty. It was later removed November 11, 2020.
- With the Backpack Update on April 20, 2021, players could organize their inventory, and their pets would be grouped into bundles. If they wanted to equip a pet, they had to click on the specific pet, and click "Equip".
