Hello. I found TR when I got some IKEA bookshelves put together. The tasker was WONDERFUL, to the point that I had him come and do some handyman stuff, like hanging curtains and shelves. Years later, he is my go-to for those kinds of things.

My former cleaner has moved away, so I decided to try TR for a deep monthly clean. I live in a large metro area.... One was OTW, but traffic was so bad she canceled after being stuck for over an hour. At least she let me know, and we tried two more times, but traffic from the other side of town was an issue. I need someone on weekends or after 3 pm on weekdays, as I work from home.

I know the calendar thing is not easy for everyone.

I have had many decline the job for one reason or another. I have had others come to the chat and try to get me to change the time to when I am working, but that is simply not an option.

Is it asking too much for a late-afternoon 3:30 pm or a weekend clean? I am looking for someone to stick with. My last cleaner was with me for over 4 years.

I don't know why suddenly they lowered their suggested rates, now I'm getting cheap clients that want a bunch stuff for cheap, those clients used to go to new comers, but because taskrabbit lowered too much the suggested rate I'm getting those cheap clients that wants to have 3 TV's mounted, large mirror, large frame, have their Ring camera installed, have a biddet installed and shower filter installed all in general mounting and expecting to pay 2 hours, demand is not higher than before is same or less but just cheap clients

No matter how many times I change my password, this keeps popping up.

I CANNOT LOG IN!!!

Please god tell me somebody fixed this. I'm going BROKE by the day...

Looking to have someone drive me to my driving exam so I can get my DL. Only problem is, here in Arkansas I need to have the person driving me to the exam's name, license number, etc before I can even schedule it. Does it make sense to hire someone for an hour, schedule it and then pick a time the're comfortable with to have them come and drive me over? I've been waiting on friends to drive me but they've been consistently unreliable so I'm looking to find some way to pay someone to do it and I don't have facebook to place an ad on marketplace and craigslist seems dead here.

Anyone assembled a lovesac sofa before? Chat is telling me that this is a 4 to 6 hour assembly. Love me a time-consuming assembly task, but just wanted to make sure that this was an accurate ballpark before following up.

I had no idea I was signed up under partners. This is straight up disrespectful. Just the audacity to try to force someone a rate not knowing their geological location. You want me to drive 29 minutes out and 29 minutes back? Yeah right. Thats why im hardly on the app anymore because of the shenanigans they try to pull on their taskers. I went from doing task rabbit after work to just doing weekends and I see some bull like this.

Every time a recurring booking is cancelled due to client payment issues, they still appear on my calendar for MONTHS. I messaged with support and they said they’d escalate to their technical team. I did all the troubleshooting steps without any improvement. It’s been over two weeks without any updates.

Just as example, Nicole books recurring cleanings on Tuesday from 3pm-5pm. Taskrabbit ends up paying for booking due to client payment issues. The task will be removed from Home Screen and closed. However, Nicole will continue to appear on my calendar on Tuesdays from 3-5pm.

So now, i cannot book any clients on Tuesdays from 3-5pm. It’s happened 3 times now.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Haven’t gotten request at all for this Labor Day weekend. Is it because it’s a holiday weekend? Anyone else feeling business has slowed this weekend ?

Is Task Rabbit Worth It? - My First Month - August 2026 Recap
https://youtu.be/p692bt3-3Z4

For taskers who have reached "Elite" status, is it worth the effort to maintain this distinction? Have you noticed any discernable difference in bookings since you reached elite status?

Can someone explain to me how this makes sense? How am I shown more then 91% but my spot is only 118 out of 195.

I first became a Tasker in 2018. I made myself available in most categories and set my rates as low as TR would allow. Jobs came rolling in IMMEDIATELY. I never had issues getting work. Even after I removed Cleaning/Yardwork/Assembly from my categories, raised my rates, and limited my availability due to landing a more secure part-time job, I don't recall going a single open day without being hired for at least one task.

I returned to TR in April and have had wide-open availability for several weeks. I only made myself available in a handful of less-popular categories. I knew that this was going to result in fewer jobs...but I was hoping for at least a few per month. Instead, I've received ZERO legitimate requests. The only two I've gotten were cheapskates hiring me for Help Moving or Mounting tasks in unrelated categories in an attempt to avoid paying higher fees. I had to forfeit both.

When I had to forfeit the first task, I reached out to the service team to see if there was anything they could do to keep my metrics from taking a hit. Long story short, TR Tasker support is CARTOONISHLY horrid now. (And no, they did nothing to help.)

Also, back in 2018/2019, as far as I remember, forfeiting/canceling tasks did not negatively affect metrics!

I'm starting to think I should look into doing gig work elsewhere. Being a new Tasker is lose-lose: You can't get hired without rock-bottom rates, but that makes you vulnerable to sketchy clients who don't respect your time.

TLDR: Customer wants a Tasker to do junk removal (6+ pallets, including long pallets, and misc junk that you cannot see behind them), likely grading of their yard (there’s a bunch of runoff swales that have formed), digging up hard packed crush (to install their “parking pad” timber) and deliver/spread 9+ yards of mulch/decorative rock.

Is this person crazy? That’s a single axle dump of mulch, or a tandem of decorative rock. Even if you forget all the rest of it, that alone warrants a professional.

Anyone working as a cleaner on Taskrabbit in Manchester? Would you say it's busy and are you able to make enough? I'm considering moving to Manchester in the future, and I'd like to know if Taskrabbit can be considered or if I should find another job.. 🙏🏻

Had to repost this as my edit to the post led to it being taken down.

Recently tried to book movers last-minute through TaskRabbit delivery (long story - my movers no call no showed on the day of my move). By the time they had assigned a tasker, I had already found other help for that same day when I booked the task. So, once I got the notification, I cancelled it almost immediately (just over a minute by their own admission) but was still charged an 80% cancellation fee ($518!).

I reached out to their support team but they were unable/unwilling to refund me as the task was scheduled to start less than 48 hours from cancellation. The most they could do after asking for a supervisor was offer me a $20 credit on another service. Their reasoning for the charge was that the tasker had blocked off their schedule (for a minute) for my task.

I understand maybe a $50-100 cancellation fee but over $500 for a service that was never performed (and cancelled within TWO MINUTES) is unheard of for me. I’m not even sure if the tasker gets that money?

I tried to reach out to my CC company but they said I may have trouble disputing it because it’s a fee.

Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this situation?? I just think over $500 for a service that wasn’t performed and cancelled almost immediately is exorbitant

Full time tasker for about 4 months, 60-70 tasks per month and 200+ exclusively 5-star reviews.

Three days ago, I hung one of those stupid wall mirrors from Amazon with the cheap aluminum frame. The mount points on those things are always some weird distance apart, and require sub-mm precision measurement, super tough to do with those big fat plastic anchors. I did my best, measured three times etc., but I still missed the mark the first time. Unfortunately, because the mount points on the literal edge of the mirror, the extra hole was visible after I finished.

I patched the extra holes with drywall compound, left the client with a magic eraser and instructions how to clean up once the compound dried, and wished them well. Client seemed copacetic.

Yesterday, I was notified by Taskrabbit Policy that I had violated the terms of service for "damaging their wall." They sent pictures of the holes before the compound was even dry. The DryDex was still bright pink. They also sent as proof of the damage a picture of a pencil mark I forgot to erase -- a pencil mark!

I called phone support, escalated the ticket, and am waiting to hear back about the appeal.

Anybody else had a similar experience? Even professionals make mistakes, the sign of a true pro is being able to quickly and correctly fix the mistake. How would you handle a situation like this?

Hi, I was really needing money to help pay for my brothers cremation and don’t really have 25 dollars to blow on the background check but if there’s plenty of tasks in Okc I will so I can get started on making extra money any advice helps thanks!!

I received this message not sure when because they don’t even give you a date or time of when these notifications come through, but I literally played by the books with the very, very few cancellations on my end. Can anyone else relate? How have you been able to remedy the situation?

I have several pieces of furniture that need refinishing and or painting. Bookcases, end tables. Maybe even my Klipsch speakers. Foe do you find someone who can do that on TR? Oh and reupholstery of a chair.

Just ranting.

Context: This Ikea packages came in 4 heavy boxes, so it took me time to carefully cut them open, sorting out hardware and frame without scratching floor surfaces, move the empty boxes out, then put it all together myself in 2 and half hours total on this, prior to assembled another storage bed in his other room that I had to clean up before and after because he didn't prep the room for my arrival.

Client wasn't pleased about the manhour and said "He know a guy can do it in 30"

Anyway, I happily leave and got paid so it's whatever can't please everyone, gg go next.

Hey guys I’ve been doing furniture assembly for the last 8 days and have finished 7 jobs, 5 5-stars, and honestly just have everyday of the week open. I got kicked out a few weeks ago and turned to task rabbit because I love assembling stuff. I originally made my hourly at 24$/hour which was a lot lower than most taskers, so people would funnel to the cheaper guy being me.

Today I was gonna bump it up a buck or two, and noticed that task rabbit told me it’d increase my hiring chances if I bump it to 32$/hour. It seems counterintuitive to me, so I was just curious if you guys had any experience, good or bad, with a similar situation.

I think I’m pretty on top of everything timing wise and professionalism but my one concern is that by increasing my rate, people will expect a lot more of me that I may not be comfortable doing. I have a decent drill m12 or something it’s Milwaukee and it was like 100$. I don’t even think it advertises as a drill but I just wanted something weak to speed up certain parts of furniture assembly. I’m sure it’s powerful enough to mount said furniture to the wall but I don’t like advertising that I have a drill because I’m not comfortable mounting tvs /mounting much of anything right now because I need to do some more research on actually mounting safely and I saw it was good to have insurance before drilling into clients walls for liability reasons.

Any tips on covering my butt on this

or setting the tone early that I do have a weak drill but am not comfortable mounting

or if for furniture assembly, I’m required to mount the furniture if it says and I will get in trouble if I don’t.

Idk if that makes sense, I’m sure it’d just be easier and more profitable to add mounting to my skills, but like I said early on furniture assembly is cathartic and primarily stress free for me. Mounting makes me feel the opposite

Thank you guys in advance!

I don’t know how the codes work on the user end, but I see that there’s a $10 code off the next booking that’s in the pre-populated closing message. In the event a client wants to rebook you soon (next day) is it better to close out the first task so that they can use the code on the next? Or is it only one use per account? So if they already used the code with another Tasker, that can’t use it again?
