2 paws up: Uber opens its doors to our furry friends
Whenâs the last time you took an Uber? The popular ridesharing company has expanded to blanket most of the country with services, but one major audience has been left out for far too long: our pets. All that is changing with Uberâs new âUber Petâ program, which allows you to board with your dog or cat as well. Now if youâre stranded with your pet, you no longer need to worry about getting from A to B plus the hassle from your driver. The service isnât free, of course. Itâs a $3 to $5 surcharge to bring your pets on board. No word from Uber whether or not this goes to the driver, though. I guess theyâll have to clean up dog hair from their back seat on their ownâ¦
No matter how many surcharges Uber lays on you, theyâll never add up to this ride they offer.
