The stripes on the leaves make me think it's a dieffenbachia

My friend is a certified master gardener and says this is an Aglaonema, which could be toxic to pets.

I do not have this plant but I have seen it (or something that looks like this) in our local (Florida) stores and they are calling it a Chinese Evergreen or Aglaonema.
