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.
