Description
TaskRabbit connects local independent contractors called Taskers with people who need help with everyday physical tasks like furniture assembly, moving, mounting TVs, cleaning, handyman repairs, yard work, delivery, and errands. You set your own hourly rate for each task category, control your availability, and receive task requests through the app. TaskRabbit is owned by IKEA and is featured in every US IKEA store as their recommended furniture assembly service. Every task completed includes a $1 million liability insurance policy. Beginners average $20 to $40 per hour, while experienced Taskers in high-demand categories like handyman work and moving earn $50 to $100+ per hour.
