TaskRabbit
Hire local helpers
TaskRabbit is an online platform connecting people who need tasks done with workers willing to do them.
The service handles errands, moving help, furniture assembly, cleaning, and similar jobs: I hired someone on TaskRabbit to mount my TV.
Taskers set their own rates and availability.
The name has become somewhat generic for gig-economy errand services.
