Can I take my pet on an UberX? What about UberPool? Does Uber allow or disallow it?
What's Uber's policy on dogs and pets on an Uber?
The Guru Take
Here are the rules. Allowed with driver permission. Not allowed on UberPool.
Here are the policies outlined by Uber:
In accordance with state and federal laws, as well as Uber's policies, service animals are permitted to accompany riders at all times. If you're traveling with a pet that's not a service animal, drivers may choose whether or not to allow the pet in their vehicle.
If you're planning to ride with a pet that's not a service animal, it's good practice to contact the driver who accepted your ride request to let them know. You can use the Uber app to send a text message or call your driver.
Please help drivers keep vehicles clean for all riders by bringing a carrier or blanket to reduce the risk of damage or mess. Some drivers may keep a blanket or other covering in the trunk of their vehicle.
Out of respect for other riders, unless you have a service animal, pets are not allowed on uberPOOL trips.

I've taken my little shihpoo on a few Uber rides before. I simply call the driver ahead of time and have never had any problems.
What is a shihpoo?
Thanks for this.
