2Welcome! 1) Requests for words or phrases must include a sample sentence showing how the word would be used. 2) I would think that "raise" covers the meaning you want. Please edit to show what you take "raise" to mean, and what different meaning you're looking for.– Andy BonnerCommented May 9, 2022 at 20:48

1You can raise a pet without taking care of it?– Yosef BaskinCommented May 9, 2022 at 20:49

1@YosefBaskin If they are half-breed wolves or feral, then yes. That said, maybe "watching it grow up" would be more apt.– Cascabel_StandWithUkraine_Commented May 9, 2022 at 20:51

@Cascabel_StandWithUkraine_The OP is talking about pets. I think your comment went out of range!– SteveCommented May 9, 2022 at 21:31

1Well, if it's a rabbit it's "Hare raising".– Hot LicksCommented May 9, 2022 at 22:33

rear
to bring to maturity or self-sufficiency usually through nurturing care

FWIW I think raise is fine also.

This is the most obvious answer that was for some reason escaping the other users here. +1 Commented May 9, 2022 at 21:04

Then does the pet go out into the wild wild world as would a child? Note that pets are not cattle.– XanneCommented May 9, 2022 at 21:20

In fact I think this is answer is incorrect. Certainly nurturing is involved, but well beyond maturity.– XanneCommented May 9, 2022 at 21:22
