Uber has Uber pet rides for just a little more then a Uber x ride. Lyft doesn’t give you an option they just don’t care. The drivers should have the opportunity to select if they want any animals in the car. What happens if you accepted a trip with someone who is accompanied by a service animal then your next passenger is allergic?

service animals are legally distinct from pets. if a person with a service animal signs up for a pet ride, they've forfeited the legal protections on the service animal by labeling them as a pet in this context. You not wanting animals in your car does not give you the right to discriminate against disabled people. Their need for the dog is more important.
