It is hard to catch up in life with limited time in the day. Getting things done with the continuous interruptions of our daily lives can be frustrating. It is easy to be sidetracked by situations and last minute requests, which can leave you in a bind.
TaskRabbit’s services are available to provide relief for any personal or business related tasks you need help with, you cannot get to, you do not have time for or you are not able to do yourself.
TaskPosters name their own price when they post a task, the price should be carefully calculated. Some factors to think about when calculating your price should include the amount of travel associated with the task, the amount of time it will take to complete the task and the difficulty or special skills a task may require. Remember that TaskRabbit runners do not receive benefits, they do not have growth opportunities and some of them do not have a stable income, so price you task fairly.
The TaskRabbit is paid for price of their bid and any reimbursements they are owed. The company charges TaskPosters a fee for their service based on the amount of the bid, the higher the bid, the lower the service charge is.
Post your task online through the TaskRabbit website, TaskRabbit runners will bid on your task. You may choose which TaskRabbit is the one for you based on the price of their bids, their experience and skill sets, their location, their demand, or their leader board ranking. The leader board is a point system for TaskRabbit runners to earn points by receiving good reviews, responding quickly with bids, accurately bidding, and encouraging others to join.
Is TaskRabbit Safe?
TaskRabbit runners are fully screened to ensure the safety of TaskPosters. Their identities are verified, they have a thorough background check, and their reputation is reviewed by their personal community. Once they have been approved, they must complete an online training program.
This concept, which originated in Boston in 2009, is continuing to expand into new cities to provide others their help. In cities where it is currently located, you can get help anytime, anywhere, from TaskRabbits in your area. There are times where everyone has needed or will need help.
TaskRabbits are there to make your life a bit simpler and less stressful by providing the support you need. For the most part individuals who have used the service have left generally positive reviews.

I hired a tasker on Feb 23 and Feb 28. This tasker was hired to do some repairs and I just have to tell you it is awful what we are going through. He went to the property and did a list of the repairs we need, mentioned he needed all the materials and if i can do a home depot phone payment at check out, i did that and to my surprise he added a lot of stuff that we never agreed for him to buy, including tools for him and various stuff never authorized, the total was $670.00.
After the tasker mentioned he needed all the repair labor payment upfront, on several conversations he was clear that if we don't pay him upfront he will keep the $670.00 in materials, all the time we were getting threats from him, he told us to open a new project on taskrabbit and that he will charge the account for all his labor upfront or he will just steal all of the materials since he took all of them to his house. Feb 28 he did the charge of his labor, March 20 and he has done no work on the property, got all the labor money upfront as he wanted and has all the materials too.
It is disgusting what we are dealing with taskrabbit, we are victims of threats so we dont lose the materials and a lot of problems. We have no materials, he already got all his labor money, we have no work done for over three weeks, we had to hire a locksmith because he kept and refused to provide the keys. A Cleveland police report is already opened for the stolen materials. The reality is taskrabbit has ignored everything that is going on, we have over $1,581.92 lost and this company just ignored everything.
The last message from this fraudulent company, after sending them all the text messages where we were extorted, messages showing he was asking for all the labor money or he will keep the materials, police reports. Task rabbit response is they dont see any problems and to deal with Cleveland Police.
This company is a scam, is trash.
File complaints with BBB bureau, your state attorney office, attorney general, FTC, contact your local TV station, people are getting scammed left and right with all the reviews i see online.
The same type of complaints keep dropping up everywhere from people who 1 don't want to do the work themselves. I to belong to such a club. 2. The other group is people who don't know how to do the work. Sometimes I also belong to that group. . I always know the difference and admit immediately and will pay a fair living wage in my city. All of you who complained do you know what your city living wage is??? Not the min. Wage? But enough not to be on food stamps or gov. assistance? Then did you pay for or tip for travel time. Many complain about late arrival. What about your Dr visits. Do you not pay because she was late? What about major traffic and other people just taking up time talking! I saw an old sign of a mechanic repair price per hr.
Price if you help double price ?
Price if you teach me 4times my hourly rate. Or close to this saying so chill all you hardliners give the man of woman a brake you would want the same courtesy. I hope to find a honest worker.That gives it their best shot. If they can't we both are free to leave and go on... I will go find someone else cause I couldn't or would not do it to begin with. ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT NOW?
The agreed start time was 11:30am. The person with only one name text that she is on her way. Then she texted that
she will be 15-20 minutes late. Noontime she still did not arrive. She arrived at 25 minutes to 1pm. At this point I have already done the cleaning of the apartment myself. I told her she is late and the work is already done by me so I don't need her, she is too late. Then this woman had the nerve to text me and say she is going to
charge my credit card for an hour of work. There is no proper customer service to call, only e-mail and text.
Well the bottom line is I am not paying some woman who did not work. I am working with the credit card company.
I also have a security watch on the card, because if anyone try anything funny they are going to jail.
There is some deception and crookedness in their business practices (didn't work but want pay)
In the evening I exchanged 5 emails with a rep at Taskrabbit UK, who kept asking me for the same information, information that was documented on my chat with the tasker and including pictures. They kept sending me the same email over and over again, hardly changing it and told me that they weren't responsible for paying me back for the damage.
That's I would need to be insured. Why the help would I need to be insured for a flatpack??? I communicated that to the rep who still hasn't been in touch. I've sent 4 follow up emails. My cupboards were worth 3250 but that was apparently too much money for them to reimburse me for. I tried the emergency number this morning but the only options available are to leave a voicemail or send emails. Neither of which have got me anywhere. The service I've received has been nothing short of disgusting. Even after the tasker officially took responsibility of everything, they still won't respond and reimburse/ resolve the situation.
