"I have a pet" is best. You will hear many people say "I have got a pet" or "I've got a pet", but this is poor English. Adding "got" doesn't change the meaning of the sentence. It just makes things sloppy.
IMO, there is never, ever a reason to say "I have got" or "I've got". (I am a native USA speaker. It is different in British English, where it is more acceptable, but means something slightly different.)
