Initially, you choose one pet (cat or dog). The 1.6 update changed that, allowing multiple pets! But first, you need to max out your current pet's friendship. This involves daily care: fill their water bowl (except on rainy/snowy days) and pet them (a heart appears above their head when successful). Check their friendship level in the "Animals" menu (pause menu).
Once friendship is maxed, Marnie will email you, opening up pet adoption. If you skipped the initial pet, she'll email you at the start of Year 2.

After Marnie's email, visit her shop (9 am - 4 pm, closed Mon/Tues). Choose "Adopt Pets." You'll see 12 licenses: five cat variations, five dog variations, and two turtles. Each costs a significant amount of gold.

Each new pet needs a bowl from Robin's shop (5,000g and 25 Hardwood). This is essential; neglecting a pet's bowl can lead to them running away! Consider building bowls before adopting.
Marnie also sells optional doghouses and cat trees (decorative only).
That's how to get multiple pets in Stardew Valley! Check The Escapist for more Stardew Valley guides.
