Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a pet animal who steals things. Often, but not always, they then stash them away in a Treasure Room (or doghouse). This trope applies when the pet steals with the intent to keep the item—simply engaging in a playful tug-of-war or a chase with the intention of being caught does not count. This can lead to Mistaken for Thief if someone is thought to have stolen something that was actually stolen by a pet. Often seen in Kid Detective stories. A variant is a pet owned by a thief which has been specifically trained for the task. Can be Truth in Television. Compare to Thieving Magpie, which isn't a pet (usually). Compare Pet Gets the Keys and Animal Assassin. |

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer from Cats. They're a sibling duo of cats who've been responsible for ransacking their owners' stuff, with their crimes including stealing winter vests, Woolworth pearls, and dinner. Their owners are fully aware at least one of them is responsible, but can't tell them apart, let alone figure out who. | |

One episode of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated features a monkey that was trained by its owner to steal things like money and jewelry at the ring of a bell. It worked perfectly until the monkey eventually started bringing back bells with the valuables and then only bells and whatever was attached to them instead of the intended targets. | |

In the Fantastic Beasts series, Newt Scamander's Niffler is constantly trying to take shiny things. This ends up coming in handy in the second movie, as it steals the blood pact Dumbledore made with Grindelwald, meaning that Dumbledore now has a chance to destroy it and move against Grindelwald directly. | |

In Pokémon, Purrloin is a cute little kittycat known for stealing things. In general, and insofar as some Pokémon can be considered pets, any Pokémon capable of learning moves such as Switcheroo or Thief counts. |

In The Famous Five book Five on a Hike Together, the villains Maggie and Dirty Dick try to chase the Five away by stealing their food. Timmy goes into the villains' tents, and brings the Five some of Maggie and Dirty Dick's much nicer food. Julian quips that it's tit for tat, and fair exchange is no robbery. | |
