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.

* 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.
* Lil' Deathwing is the Cataclysm Collector's Edition reward.
Unknown
The drop locations of these pets is still unknown.
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.
