No, they generate jack dick for agro (necros have been complaining about this for ages, pet agro is too low for classic). You have to make sure your pet actually hits the mob at least once before you can sit and not take agro, and you'll take agro instantly as soon you cast anything. At those low levels you just need to take advantage of your pets insanely high HP regen and let it melee the mob down a ways before you cast on it and then tank the mob the rest of the way down. It's the most efficient way I found to level up since pets seriously don't hold agro worth a crap at low level.

It started to get better at 39, but they're still not holding agro like they should (read the old leveling guides on casters realm via the wayback machine, at basically any level it should take 2-3 spells to take agro off your pet).

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
