It depends on the city, culturally, and it's a good idea to call and ask first.

Obviously if it's a service dog they're required to transport it, but from knowing people with service dogs, it's still worth calling because some drivers are allergic and would rather you call another

But Uber is not a cab service; instead, they are trying to evade all the rules.

Most drivers are okay if it seems like you have your pet neat. I take my cats in carriers all the time, but would never take my parents super sheddy dog.

I've taken my cats (in their carriers) to the ER on Uber several times. Generally, they don't have any issues and are quite empathic to the situation.
