Deep Queries are not supported yet, one day.

Why not something like:

/// Find all blue cars and get their owners
Cars.find({color:'blue'}).populate('owners').exec(function(err, bluecars) {

  // unique list of owners
  var owners = _.uniq(bluecars, function(el) {
    return el.owner.id;
  });

  // get all complete owners, with pets + cars
  async.map(
    owners,
    function(cb) {
      Owners.findOne({id: el.id})
        .populate('pets')
        .populate('cars')
        .exec(function(err, data) {
        cb(err, data);
      }
    },
    function(err, results) {
      // this is now a collection of all owners that have blue cars
      // from this you can see all their pets
      console.log(results);
    });
});

Yes you are making a lot of calls to the DB, but it's pretty straightforward and legible.

Once performance becomes an issue, and hopefully Owners,Cars&Pets are all on the same database you can write your own query using joins.
