Lyft is letting you bring your dog with you — here’s how the new ‘Pet Rides’ work
Lyft is rolling out a new feature designed to make rides more inclusive for pet owners across the U.S. Just in time for National Dog Day, the company announced the launch of “Pet Rides,” a service allowing riders to bring their pets along for the trip. Riders will pay an additional $4 fee, which goes directly to the driver.
This new option aims to ease the stress of traveling with pets, ensuring that riders are matched with drivers who are comfortable with having animals in their cars. Whether it’s a quick trip to the vet or a day at the park, pet owners can now bring their furry friends without hassle.

How to use Lyft Pet Rides
To book a Lyft Pet Ride, users can select the option in the Lyft app. The service is currently limited to one cat or dog per ride, with pets required to be in a carrier, on a blanket, or at the owner’s feet. While drivers can opt out of participating, they are still required to accommodate service animals.
With Pet Rides, Lyft catches up with competitor Uber, which has had the feature since 2021. As part of the rollout for the feature, Lyft is partnering with animal shelters and rescue organizations, encouraging pet adoption with special promotions.
