I have goats, and they're a lot of fun. But they're also a lot of work. Goats are herd animals, so you'll need to get at least two. If you want just pets, you could get either does (female goats) or whethers (castrated male goats).
Goats need to get their hooves trimmed once a month, and they need to be given deworming medicine about twice a year. They need hay or good pasture every day, as well as clean water. Whethers and non-milking/non-pregnant does don't really need grain.
http://fiascofarm.com/ has lots of information about goats, if you're interested in them.

A bunny would be great! Maybe a llama or alpaca.(: Bunnies are super easy and fun. Mine love to come out of their cages. I take them on walks and everything! They can even be litter box trained. Alpacas are also super easy. Juat give them some land and they are good. They go to the bathroom in the same spot, so clean up is easy. You can also make money off of alpacas! Their fur is worth a lot of money! I don't know much about llamas. I know they can make good pets though(: How about a duck? I have two, Beaker and Obesa. I can even hold mine! I also take them swimming too. Ducks are fun to have around. They can be a bit messy. If you get a duck, make sure it is only a few days old. It will then think your the mother and follow you around. It is so cute! Goats are awesome too!! My friends have some and they are sooo funny! One time the goat was standing on a horses back. They are Pygmy Goats.( im not sure if I spelt it right) I hope this helps you!! (:

Maybe ferrets, a hedgehog, turtle, chinchilla, toad, or sugar glider. I love all these pets and they're unusual. I agree with other answers, a minature goat or potbelly pig would be perfect. There are smaller pigs too called micro pigs/mini pigs if you would want to look into that. :)

A miniature goat! their adorable and u can lead it around, their low maintenance and on average only grow to 43cm. Although u will need more than one because their herd animals, their really friendly too.
