Uber, a ridesharing app, announced the launch of Uber Pet in Bangalore, allowing riders to bring their beloved pets along for the ride. With this new reserve-only service, pet owners can now enjoy stress-free travel with their furry companions.
Uber Pet offers riders the option to book a ride with their pet either a dog or a cat ensuring a comfortable experience for both themselves and their pets. This feature not only ensures the comfort of the rider but also provides peace of mind knowing that their pet is welcome during the journey.

Uber Pet is our effort to make travel more accessible and convenient for pet owners and their companions. Our aim is to provide a seamless experience for pet parents while also creating additional earning opportunities for drivers, allowing everyone to include their beloved pets in their journeys.”
Uber Pet will be available exclusively as a reserve-only option in the Uber app for riders in Bangalore. Riders can pre-book their rides from 60 minutes to up to 90 days in advance.
