It doesn't have to be a formal rule, it can just be an understanding. And it's not just about pets; for example, I know some table do a lot with scrying/divination, while other tables think that adds too much overhead time.
I'm more curious about what things people know about that they don't do that might be a good idea to do, because the tradeoff in real-life time or hassle isn't worth it.
I just think my table isn't made up of those sorts of people, so we don't scry, we don't 10ft pole, we're very laid back. In return, whiever one of us is DMing (we rotate) tend to "play along" in that the bad-guys aren't constantly scrying us, and we don't have to worry every black square is actually a black pudding.
