A mitt includes a hand cover portion and optionally also a forearm cover portion into which a hand of the user can be placed when playing with a dog, cat or other pet. A flap is coupled to the hand covering portion of the mitt at a proximal portion but dangles freely at a distal edge and provides a convenient structure for playing of tug-o-war, such as with a dog. Tassels extend from various portions of the mitt and are conveniently available for playing with a cat. A utility pouch is provided on the forearm cover which can contain various additional play accessories or other pet associated items. The mitt is formed of a leather material which is sufficiently strong to avoid cat scratches, dog bites from small dogs, and similar pet related injuries that can occur while playing with a pet.
