Sorry if this is the wrong place, or a stupid question–I am entirely new to the forums.
This has been impossible to google because of only hunter pet answers coming up, or specifically active-in-battle pets, but my question is this:
Can you actually see other people’s pets (NOT hunter pets) in the overworld if they aren’t in your party? I feel like I always have a little pet summoned for fun and to match my outfit and I have never seen anyone else have a pet equipped. I have indeed seen active pet battles in the wild, but I have never see someone walking around town with a pet following them. (Again, excluding hunter pets.)
Is this just the way the game is, can you not see them ever? Is there some setting I have turned off? Do people just never have them summoned?
Yes, you can see other people’s summoned pets. But not many people keep a pet summoned.

Yes , although some can be pretty small and not seen so easily. And another drawback, even if you try to keep a pet summoned lots of times mounting or porting will cause them to de-spawn on you.

Thanks both of you! That does make sense. I keep the pets I like on my side bars so I can re-summon them when they frequently despawn. ^^; Well I am still surprised I don’t see more, but glad to know that when I do I guess it’s a special moment! lol.
Yes, but they’re very small, so you can easily miss them when people run by.
In addition, most people don’t run around with one out all the time. They have them out in a dungeon or raid or whatever, but not just when running around.
Some of us do, of course. I pretty much always have a pet out, but any time you zone, your pet is dismissed, so that’s also an issue.
(I personally keep out a Fledgling Warden Owl pet named “Little Meri” because it looks just like my flight form)

In addition, there are some pets that sit on your character (i.e., on your shoulder for Crackers & Cap’n Crackers OR your back for Daisy).
