Can dogs or cats be infected by the SARS-CoV-2?

No, there is no evidence for that.

Can my pet be a conduit for viral transmission?

Yes, a healthy person can get infected by the virus if that person touches an animal that an infected person has sneezed or coughed on.

If I’m an infected person, what precautions can I do to care for my pet and avoid spreading the virus?

Call your doctor and veterinarian for any issues on the matter. Disinfect your hands often and wear a face mask when around other healthy people, animals who are also with you in a medical facility. Don’t cough directly on animals and people and minimize your contact with others.
