Marketplace connecting clients with skilled Taskers

About Taskrabbit

Taskrabbit connects clients with skilled individuals, called Taskers, to help with various household and personal tasks. Clients can hire Taskers for chores like cleaning, furniture assembly, home repairs, and running errands.

Taskrabbit charges a service fee on each transaction, which is a percentage of the task's total cost, allowing the company to earn revenue with each completed task. Accessible through a website and mobile app, Taskrabbit emphasizes same-day service for clients needing immediate help. The company also has a "Happiness Pledge" to ensure customer satisfaction and address any issues quickly.
