Uber starts rides with Pets in Bangalore

New Delhi, Oct 8 (UNI) In a good news for pet lovers, Uber, an app based transportation and ride-sharing technology company on Tuesday 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, whether it's a quick trip to the vet or an outing to their favorite pet-friendly café, the company said in a release.
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.
By selecting the Uber Pet option, drivers will be notified that a pet will be traveling, making the experience smooth and enjoyable for both the rider and the driver, it added.
Uber Pet caters to the growing number of pet owners looking for convenient transportation options without leaving their furry companions behind.

Commenting on the launch, Shweta Mantri, Head, Rider Verticals, Uber India and South Asia, said, “We understand how important pets are to their families and including them in our outings is essential. 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.”
