Achievements Rewards
A couple of achievements will reward you with new pets, most of them are Guild Achievements unlocking the ability to purchase these pets for gold in the guild reward panel, assuming you have enough reputation with your guild.

* Armadillo Pup is the reward of Critter Kill Squad (Guild)
* Dark Phoenix Hatchling is the reward of United Nations (Guild)
* Guild Herald is the reward of Saving For A Rainy Day (Guild)
* Guild Page is the reward of Horde Slayer / Alliance Slayer (Guild)
* Pebble is the reward of Rock Lover (Player)

Professions
Professions get a fair amount of pets in this expansion, if your plan is to get absolutely all the pet you will probably have to learn and drop a couple of professions.

* Clockwork Gnome is an Archaeology rare loot - Clockwork Gnome
* Crawling Claw is an Archaeology rare loot - Crawling Claw
* De-Weaponized Mechanical Companion is an Engineering item - De-Weaponized Mechanical Companion
* Elementium Geode is found randomly by miners in Elementium mining nodes, the pet isn't BoP and can be sold.
* Enchanted Lantern seems to be an Enchanting pattern in a NYI state Formula: Enchanted Lantern
* Fossilized Hatchling is an Archaeology rare loot - Fossilized Hatchling
* Magic Lamp also seems to be an Enchanting pattern in a NYI state Formula: Magic Lamp
* Personal World Destroyer is an Engineering item - Personal World Destroyer

Quest Rewards
A couple of pets are rewarded through quests, including the super awesome Sunflower.

* Blue Mini Jouster is one of the reward of Egg Wave (Can only pick one)
* Gold Mini Jouster is one of the reward of Egg Wave (Can only pick one)
* Brazie's Sunflower is the reward of Lawn of the Dead.
* Mr. Grubbs is also part of a questline, kinda, and is going to be a giant pain in your ... to farm

Others
If a pet cannot fit in one of the category above, it's most likely here!

* Tiny Shale Spider is a rare drop from a rare elite named Jadefang in Deepholm.
* Rustberg Seagull is a Tol Barad rep reward: Rustberg Gull / Rustberg Gull
Real Life Events
Two pets are tied to real life events, you probably already know about them.

* Deathy is the Blizzcon 2010 pet, rewarded for attending the Blizzcon or buying the Stream.

Unknown
The drop locations of these pets is still unknown.

* Landro's Lil' XT
* Rumbling Rockling
* Whirling Waveling
* Swirling Stormling

I know, I'm sorely tempted.... I just also worked really hard to level Sara's JCing and getting recipes. I just hope they eventually make those engineering and enchanting pets BoE.

Here's a vid of the Jousting Quest you have to do to get the Gold or Blue Mini Jouster pet. Doesn't look to hard so these pets should be really easy to get. Unless you forget to flap your mounts wings.

Oh if they don't fix the controls, I guarantee that I'll be frustrated. Looks like it has the potential to be fun though!

Something the pic from MMO-Champ didn't show is that the Jouster pet is carrying a rider. At least the Gold one:

I wonder if you come across a player with the Blue one will the two start jousting? That would be hilarious. Well maybe the first five times..but still hilarious.
