Since the number of cabs is strictly limited, no new licenses to operate one are granted, if you want to drive you can either become a licensed black car or…
I doubt very many of their customers, though, can successfully flag this cab down, or dial them to pre-arrange a ride.

Can people call for their pets and subsequently escort them?
Only a human passenger in the car, simple to “explain” they just dropped their pet off at the vet.
Use it as a regular taxi but on the pet’s behalf. ie you are running errands for your pet, or going on a date to give your pet some space.
I was curious and just googled this. Apparently it is mainly for ferrying dogs to and from doggy day care.
Can I ride with my head out the window?!
Do they charge extra for “spills”? My dog gets carsick if he’s in the ride for more than 5 minutes.
Lucky?
Yes, I need a cab for my best friend Harvey – he’s a rabbit… and I’ll be coming along, too!
Haha is this strange?? 🙂 Having lived in NY & Boston for the past 6 years, I’m accustomed to seeing pet-cabs everywhere. These will take your dog to its daycare/grooming/massage appt./psychotherapist. 😉 It sometimes makes sense for people without cars who have to schlep their pit bull (or some other non-mass transit friendly pet) somewhere far. If one had a reward program I’d be all over it!

no affiliation (and would probably never use them), but this site wants to turn car sharing into a taxi service:
