What's the fastest way to level up buddies without bringing them on quests? - Travelers walking up stairs in park

Palicoes and palamutes (aka buddies) are used for a variety of things, including trading via the Argosy. There are several skill for buddies to use when trading, but they all have a level requirement. Due to this, I'd like to level up my buddies as quickly as possible. However, I only like bringing my "original" buddies along with me on quests (I named them both after IRL pets, so I just can't see the look of rejection in their eyes when I leave them behind while I go off killing monsters without them).

Due to all of the above, I'm trying to figure out what's the fastest way to level up my buddies, without bringing them on quests. I suspect it's sending them along on meowcenaries quests, but I haven't been paying close enough attention to my buddy levels to be sure. Even if meowcenries is the fastest, I'm forced to wonder if factors such as the type of quests they're sent on will make a difference in the amount of experience they gain.

    Yes. Later ingame you can recruit more Palamutes/Palicos as they can be sent off to harvest materials. You can ignore palamutes completely btw. I've almost never(1-2 time only) used them for 350 hours I was playing Rise.
