Definitely talk to your DM. Some may even allow you to purchase an egg. Role-play your search. Ask around in towns and cities; search libraries for lore; let contacts know what you want. Also keep this in mind...
Pseudodragons have an intelligence of 10, so they are not a "pet". Treat one well and it might stick around for a while.
In various situations, I have known a pseudodragon to be attracted by music, shiny objects, and fresh berries. They can be a bit vain, so don't hide your admiration of their beauty and cleverness. Be honest about the fact that you want a friend and companion. Adventure and treasure are good lures once you have opened a dialogue.
If you are asking how to get one to stick around; check out the Sidekicks in Tasha's. Treat one nice and form a friendship like you would with anyone else you wanted to hang out with you or your group.
If you are angling to have an extra attacker that you can control; if I was the DM that would be as difficult as crafting a magic item. Gaining close to the benefits of a special familiar is a big subclass feature of the Warlock.
Check out Page 254 of the MM but more importantly ask your DM about it. They will get final say. For what it’s worth:
Pseudodragons are selective when it comes to choosing companions, but they can sometimes be won over with gifts of food (see below) or treasure. When a pseudodragon finds an agreeable companion, it bonds with that person as long as it is treated fairly. A pseudodragon puts up with no ill treatment, and it abandons a manipulative or abusive companion without warning. Think of it like a house cat that is as smart as a human and you will get an idea of their temperament and behaviour. Pseudodragons are carnivores, devouring insects, rodents, small birds, and snakes, though they sometimes eat eggs, and most also enjoy butter, cheese, and fish. They either hunt on the ground like lizards or look for prey on the wing like a raptor. As smart as a typical humanoid, they do not enjoy being treated as pets and prefer being treated as friends.

Alternatively, you ask your DM very nicely, and if one shows up, be very nice to it.
