Not driving transmission or spread in general dogs/cats licking your face probably not a good idea. You watch where they lick themselves?

I 'spose if your dog is exposed he's gonna need to be quarantined for two weeks also!

What about cats and fish and other pets?

Don't let your fish lick your face either.

Fish are incredibly far away from us evolutionarily. Dogs and cats are much closer. This matters when it comes to pathogens. You aren't likely to catch potato blight or fin rot, and you probably can't pass a coronavirus to your fish.
