My daughter has a Beta Fish. It is easy to maintain. She doesn't, usually, maintain it. The top reason for a getting a kid an easy to maintain pet is because you are likely to have to take care of it yourself no matter what they promise.

A betta fish those are lovely fish and very easy to take care of .
You might wanna try a hamster or rabbit those are pouplar for young kids .
Puppies are always nice , but you would know best . A puppy would be the little ones best friend . Maybe a cat ? Depends on what you have in mind , because for the most part you would be looking afer it .

Hamsters and rabbits are horrible pets for young kids. Hamsters sleep all day and are delicate. Rabbits are fairly delicate also and easily harmed. With supervision, either choice would be okay. But if you're expecting the kid to take care of them, neither... hamsters are a 2-3 year commitment and rabbits live over 10 years.

A stuffed one.
If you want to get a pet that you're expecting a 4 year old to care for, that's all you can expect. Either a stuffed pet or a virtual pet.
If you mean a pet that you will take care of, but the 4 year old might (repeat: might) also enjoy, then consider what type of pet YOU want.

i say get a dog, one that is a pup and can grow up with him. He will learn to protect him as he grows with him, lbs are good dogs and if you get it as a pup then they will grow together, teach the child to care for him as it is his pet. To feed him and brush him, they will be great friends.

I would say a kitten. They're fun to play with, but they don't require constant attention, because chances are your kid will get bored of it sooner or later. They're also really easy to take care of, because you don't have to take them on walks or wash them like you do dogs. Also they poop in one place, which is always good.
