In FFXIV, pets can be affected by and targeted by just about anything (The only notable exception is Protect, for whatever reason, but pretty much everything else works), and pets work jsut fine. Not OP. I know some people will shoot me for mentioning this, but I was complaining about this design before we even knew FFXIV was being developed.

Pet jobs are some of my favorites in any MMO. I love them here in spite of these design decisions.
Seriously - why do the devs hate pet jobs so much? Give us a break.
