SE gets to decide what a Summoner is, not you.
Everyone's already told you this but the only game where Summoner was a pet class is XI (in X and XIII you gain direct control of the summon, and in XII they are AI controlled with no way to control them), through out the rest of the games, Summoner was a glamorized Black Mage with cut-scene-fu magic. And sadly, even though they looked cool, XI's Summoner had major problems, mainly being outclassed by everything, Black Mages beat them at nuking, White Mage and Scholars beat them at Healing, and Bards and Red Mages beat them at Support.
