    Legally, you only have to answer the question: "What service does the dog provide for you?" Keep in mind that an honest answer is best as making a false statement is against the law. No paperwork or special collar or dog vest is required in California.

    Can I bring an emotional support dog on a Lyft ride?

    Will Uber or Lyft allow my cat in a carrier?

    This tends to be up to the driver, so you should call them as soon as you book them to make sure they will allow your crated cat in their car. Some may object if they're allergic to cats, so be proactive and find out ahead.
