The new service, called Uber Pet, will allow riders to bring their furry friends along for the ride for an additional “small surcharge.” They just select the option when requesting a ride, and the driver will be informed that a pet is coming along. Drivers can opt out of the service if they choose in the app settings.
Uber Pet will be available in Austin, Denver, Nashville, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Tampa Bay, Fla.
