There's not really an exact opposite.
Usually you would just say "home with a pet" or "pet-owning household".
You can also say "pet-friendly home", but the meaning is a little different.
It means you're allowed to have pets there, but it doesn't necessarily imply you have any already.

@salpfish Thanks a lot! I think "home with a pet" is easy for me to use. I heard "pet-friendly hotel" is a hotel where you can stay with a pet by the way. Am I right?

@momonyanko Yes, exactly, it means pets aren't banned there.
