Because we feed our pets, they associate us with food. They learn they don't have to be on guard and so can relax and play more and ask to be scratched/petted. This doesn't apply to shiity pet owners and some shitty animals, not all is equal.

Fish definitely do not understand this. I don’t think they can even see you.

The animals you are referring to do not understand “social contracts”.
Some primates can understand social contracts which is why they engage in prostitution.
But dogs and fish do not.
