What we were taught as guide dog owners is that many dog allergies are to dander, and that you as an owner are responsible for brushing your dogs regularly to minimize the effect of your dogs on those with allergies. Owning a guide dog is as much about minimizing your impact on those around you, as it is about those around you minimizing their impact on you (by, for instance, not discriminating against you.)
That said, I understand the overoccupied argument and support it. As a former guide dog user, I wouldn't have wanted to live with someone with dog allergies. But if you drive an Uber vehicle then you should be prepared to handle adverse situations. I imagine giving a dog a lift from points A to B is a lot less adverse than, say, giving a drunk person a free ride and hoping they don't vomit all over your interior. :)
