You wouldn’t leave the house without your phone and keys, right? Same energy. Tuck these into your bag before you request: a portable water bowl, a small bag of treats (to keep your dog calm), and a poop bag (just in case of nervous accidents). Also, practice the “sit and stay” command in your hallway—nothing ruins a ride faster than a dog that thinks the driver’s seat is a trampoline.
One more thing: never, ever leave your dog alone in an Uber. Even if you’re just running in for a second. Drivers are not pet-sitters, and a hot car is a recipe for disaster. Your dog is your responsibility from pickup to drop-off—end of story.

And if your dog is a drooler or a shedder? Bring a second towel. Seriously. Drivers remember that one Great Dane who left a slime trail on the window. Don’t be that Great Dane.
