Dogs can carry the virus, and in one study were as high as 38% seropositive for Ebola in the area of an outbreak. They remain asymptomatic, although their function as potential carriers is not well understood. I would err on the side of caution and assume they could transmit the disease.
I am not sure anyone has studied cats, as the ones in Africa in the boonies tend to be unfriendly and large...
