Since we love animals at Hitch, we do allow pets on rides. To ensure a furry friend's safety and the well-being of others in the car, we ask that riders follow our pet policy.
For a companion pet or emotional support animal -- riders should book a private, XL or door-to-door ride - we do not allow companion pets on shared rides.
We ask riders to inform us beforehand using our Help Chat - in the app or on our website.
For companion pets and emotional support animals, pets should be secured in a travel kennel or soft travel bag for the duration of the ride. The pet and travel kennel must be able to fit in a standard 4-door sedan.
For an ADA-compliant medical service animal, the service animal does not need to be in a travel kennel and riders are permitted on shared rides with service animals.
Only one pet per ride is permitted.
If you encounter a situation where one of these requirements is not met, please contact support in the Hitch app. If you have accepted a pet in your ride without our knowledge, we cannot support any issues that may come up. Please look for more details in your Driver's Resources tab within the app.
⭐ Please note ADA compliant Medical Service Dogs do NOT need to be crated or contained and can travel on shared rides.
