Make a place for them to live and settle in
No matter what pet you may have they will need a place to call their own so they feel comfortable and have somewhere to go when they want to sleep or need time to settle in. Depending on the pet you will need some different things, if it is a rabbit then a hutch would be needed with bedding, if it is a cat then a cage potentially and a nice bed for them to sleep in, and if it is a hamster then a nice cage with a wheel and plenty of bedding. This can all be found online or at a local pet store and this will make sure your pet settles in quick and is happy in its new home.
To help them settle in further make sure you get them some toys to play with, especially with a cat as they love to run and play. With rabbits and hamsters or rodents then you can get different things for them to chew as they have teeth that you need to take care of and chewing toys do that for them.
