No matter what age your boy is when you get him a pet, trust me, you are going to be doing some of the caring for that pet. Hate to pop your bubble but it will be a fact of life.
My kids are 33 and 30 now, and they had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, even a gopher and a pidgeon, some orphaned starlings, and while they certainly did care for their pets, they never did 100% of the work required.
