Uber Pets is Making It’s Way to Denver, Leaving us with Our Paws Up!

Uber is one of the easiest, most efficient ways to get around. I’m more of a Lyft gal myself, but both companies strive to make sure you get from point A to point B safely and efficiently. Now, Uber is unveiling a new pilot feature for pet owners. Marcuccio and Emma (find them on instagram using #marcuccioandemma) are my constant sidekicks. If I could take them with me to every listing appointment, open house, spa day, or dinner date… I would!
I mentioned a few posts back that there’s some great dog friendly spots to take fido. My latest favorite is the Watering Bowl. It’s basically a giant dog park/bar where you can sit and run around with your pup all day. They have awesome bottomless mimosas on the weekend and I highly recommend you try them out! So what if I told you you could get an Uber to your favorite bar while having your pup as a co-co-pilot? Denver is testing it out!
Starting today, October 16th, bring your furry pal with you for a small fee! Any animal can join you for your Uber ride for an extra $4. I would imagine this helps with any cleaning costs you might incur! Be sure to select Uber Pets when booking your ride. That lets a pet friendly driver know you’re looking to get somewhere with you’re furry pal! 

What Does this Mean for Drivers?

• Uber drivers will have the option to take pet friendly rides
• This gives riders some peace of mind knowing that their ride won’t be canceled upon arrival
• Drivers will receive a portion of the $4 surcharge for picking up furry pals
• Drivers in Austin, Nashville, Philly, and Phoenix are also getting the chance to try out Uber Pets
