Direct Answer
Is there a pet camera app with two-way video, not just two-way audio?
Yes. Call Pet supports two-way video on compatible devices. Your iPhone or iPad acts as the Controller, while the home Monitor can show your video during the call so the interaction is not limited to a voice coming from a speaker.

Follow-up questions
Will my pet recognize me on the screen? +
Some pets pay attention to familiar faces or voices on screens and some do not. Call Pet provides the video and audio interaction, but individual pet behavior varies.
Is two-way video the same as the live monitoring view? +
They are related but different modes. Live monitoring lets the Controller watch the Monitor camera; supported two-way video adds the owner's video back to the pet-facing device during the call.
