Grounded recently received an update that made a few changes and fixed some known bugs across all platforms.
The developers have changed the mechanics of pets. One of these is they will no longer wander inside a pet house while the player is away. Additionally, the pets following the characters will return to their pet house when the player dies. This makes it easier to keep track of your pets as you don’t have to go searching for them.
