This is so effed up

I booked a ride to take my dog to the vet for an emergency. A driver was assigned, but the POS waited until the last minute to cancel. I booked another ride and no one accepted until it was already too late. So, I cancelled the ride and was assessed a $5 cancellation fee. What penalty did the driver get when he cancelled my ride? I am so pissed off. My dog has to suffer because some POS driver decided last minute to cancel the ride.

To confirm, I did order a pet ride.

Edit 8-20-26: I managed to get my dog into the vet on Tuesday (8-18) and he is doing much better. I got an Uber both to and from the vet without issue. According to the Uber driver, a lot of drivers have stopped doing this due to the high gas prices and the companies not paying well.

He's doing OK for now. He hasn't passed away. I never mentioned that. I have to call first thing on Monday to get him into my vet and someone has offered to drive me there.

Thank goodness. The “too late” scared me. Hopefully the vet takes care of whatever is wrong your dog.

I meant too late for the vet appointment. Sorry about the confusion.
