You need custom AI for that.

Extend EntityAIBase and override it methods. EntityAIFollowOwner and EntityAIMate have somewhat close functionality to what you want, look at them.

 

All what you have to do next is adding your custom AI in you entity's tasks in the constructor and return true in your entity's isAIEnabled overridden method (see vanilla mobs to know how exactly).
