The topic title and the Original Post are difficult to decipher, but what I am getting out of it is that the Original Poster wants to know what happens when you haul dogs.
If this is the case:
I have hauled dogs for years. The overwhelming majority are well behaved. There are some that shed, but, as the taxicab has rubber floors and vinyl covered seats, it is easy to clean up dog hair. You can not make the same statement for cloth seats and carpeted floors. I have yet to have a breed that sheds excessively in the UberX car.

Pretty soon they won't need us to drive them anywhere. They'll have it covered.
In New Zealand, the SPCA is training dogs to drive cars.
Just a guess, but at the outset they'll probably only be driving Uber X at first.
Later, as the process is refined I'd imagine at some point they'll handle most of
the driver demand in the public transportation sector. Man's best friend.

Service dogs are not pets they are specialy trained to assit people and are protected and legally allowed anywhere with their owner. If you refuse to transport someone with a service dog you are opening your self to a discrimnation suit and de-activation from Uber.
Anyways service dogs are highly trained and will not act like normal pets.

I'm reading this with Latka from Taxi voice running through my head.
There's a whole thread about service animals on the site. What Kawiz said is right. Decline a service animal are you are up a certain creek without a paddle.
If I read this right, you're borrowing someone else's car to do Uber? I pray to (insert appropriate deity here) that you or her have the right insurance...

Out of all of my trips I have only had 1 service dog.
Service dogs are very well behaved and should be viewed as an extension of a person rather than a pet. They are not pets! Keep in mind service animals can range from small emotional support dogs to larger guide dogs.
But regardless of size if it is a service dog you have to take them. All service dogs have a vest and ID to identify them as certified service animals.

That is absolutely not true. Although they may wear a vest they are not required to, or have ANY documentation, at least in the USA. Please don't spread false information.

Now that I have a clarification..........................
I have hauled more than a few service dogs, over the years.
All of the service dogs that I have hauled are "average sized" dogs: German Shepherds, Labradors............that size.
The service dogs are well behaved. As a rule, their owners have them lie on the floor. My last cab had a partition, so there was not that much room on the floor. The current cab is a Fusion, so there is not that much room on the floor. I tell the customer simply to tell the dog to sit on the seat. The vinyl seat covers make it easy to clean off any hair.
GF has rolls of this tack that picks up hair, so I keep one roll in the trunk of the cab and one in the trunk of the UberX car. In a pinch, I suppose that you could run into a CVS or Staples and buy a roll of shipping tape to pick up the hair.

I would absolutely refuse despite the fact it's a service dog, sorry. What if you are legitimately allergic? Are you supposed to dismiss your own health for the sake of discrimination?
According to the thread about service animals, their need for the service animal trumps your allergies.
Best bet is if you're allergic, cancel have them order another Uber & wait with them until other ride arrives.

I would ask is that allergy is mentioned in your medical report? Could be you are not a suitable applicant as a driver.
