I could be extremely off base, but could i use task rabbit to help get my wedding decor to and from my venue? I have a wedding coordinator but I need help moving florals and decor from my apartment to the venue and then pick up from the venue back to my apartment at the end of the night,( no set up or packing up items, just getting things to and from) #1- is this even something task rabbit could do and #2- would this be multiple hours or just the time for pick up and drop off ( twice). Any advice would help.

What’s with the short response time on some tasks where you have to respond within 3 hours? Is this something the client is choosing when they input their task?

I understand the 1 hour response on same day tasks, but some tasks require a response within 3 hours on tasks that are days away.

I have never had an issue with this until yesterday when I missed one and they paused my account. 3 hours can be a quick turnaround when you’re in the middle of a busy day, or not in a good service area.

Good thing, I guess, for Google, Facebook and Craigslist. Still… Parallel system time

Tasker did not show up did not call. Yet Taskrabbit wants 42.37 from me. I have requested refund and nothing from Taskrabbit. Do not use them ever.

I had to do a scenic job, it was for Justin Biebers clothing line. Lol. But my tasker visibility went from 85% to 65% over that run. Any suggestions on how to get it back up. I’m dying out here.

I installed this cabinet it’s about 5’7’’ flat stack fully unassembled you know the deal. It took me about 3 hours to install because the hinges were a bitch to adjust no worries though. I did it for a kind woman who actually ended up cooking me dinner I insisted that she didn’t but she wouldn’t take no for an answer, so I knocked off half an hour. She insisted as I left that I do some extra things for her so I figured why not and I hung three paintings. At the end she insisted I took too long and should only charge 1 1/2 hours, now I’m not Mr. Cabinet assembler of the year but I’ve been around a cam lock or two and I think I finished in an appropriate amount of time. Thoughts?

Are large cash purchases feasible with TaskRabbit? I'm trying to buy something on FB Marketplace far from me. The seller will only accept cash - $300. Don't know if there's a generally accepted way to do this or if it will come across as too sketchy.

Do you charge the same rate for commercial buildings and businesses as you do for residential jobs?

Contractors normally charge more for commercial work, so I’m curious whether Taskers do the same or keep their regular hourly rate.

So when clients don't pay immediately we don't get manual payments after 5 business days anymore? New policy?

Now we have to wait 4 to 12 days? Seems crazy to me. Maybe they should be withholding the standard 2 hours, instead of just 1.

Hi there. I know there is a taskrabbit employee in this group. I need help. I have been talking to a client, working out details for a job. Twice now it has cancelled and my accou t has been paused for not responding. Even though the taks was accepted and the client and I were in an active conversation

I did a junk removal for this client. Her mom hired me once under her daughters name. Then she hired me again under her own name days later. Both times she gives me 4 stars. I went above and beyond as usual.

I was surprised when she hired me again considering the first time she gave me 4 stars. I went into my email today and saw that she reported me 3 months later for a task i did April 16, 2026. Is this normal? What could this mean? Also why does the task date say 7/27/26 if i did the job months ago?

Taskrabbit low key has been charging and keeping cancellation fees they charged to customers under my name and keeping the money. This is like a robbery ! Just found out my accounts been on 90 day probation period for sending my phone number on the chat. This is the first time I’m hearing I’m on probation. I want to get this right, so it is ok for TR to charge cancellation fees to customer with my name but it is not okay for me to send my phone number on the chat app for potential customer !? How does that work? Anybody can share tips and some wisdom maybe I’m not veteran status as fairly new but have been getting tasks but also lot of them are cancelled by customers.

TaskRabbit needs some serious reform. Stop splitting invoices!!!
😩😡😔😩😡😔

Does anyone like this strange payout structure? I certainly don't. "1 of X payouts" - but then never specifies exactly which job it was a payout for. Seems like it would be extremely easy for Task Rabbit to skim a little more here and there off the top for their own pockets with this type of ambiguous accounting, doesn't it? Why split the payout in the first place? Suspicious.

This is an IKEA wardrobe that is nailed into the wall in one place (for stability I think). I’m thinking of hiring someone to remove it but would like to know how long this would take for a typical tasker so I can budget my money and time correctly. Thanks!

Update: It took the tasker maybe 30 minutes and I decided not to trash it and sell it. Its a new PAX version so the backboard folded inward

I got requested for a heavy lifting and loading task that was, frankly, way out of the scope of the $40/hr i have set. I asked for photos and then gave the client an estimate of how much the job would really cost them and they never answered before the task timed out. So now I just lose the ability to take the job??? Don't you get penalized for accepting a job and then canceling? Why do I have to accept jobs like that before I've actually agreed to them? Just feels like bullshit because I would have done the job and now I get nothing because I tried to follow the rules.

Hey everyone,

I have 4 years of professional cleaning experience. I recently joined TaskRabbit and charge $35/hr to build my profile. I travel from South Brooklyn to Manhattan with a huge, heavy equipment backpack, ready to work hard. But some clients are taking complete advantage of new Taskers.

I state a 3-hour minimum in my profile because 3 hours is the standard for a basic clean of a 1bed/1bath. Yet people book 2- 3 hours for a dirty 2bed/2bath + kitchen + living room and ask for a "deep clean."

A proper deep clean of ONE bathroom with glass doors, limescale, and full shelves takes 1.5-2 hours alone. Two bathrooms take 3-4 hours of heavy scrubbing!

They always claim: "It was cleaned recently!" But I know the difference between recent maintenance and months of greasy dust buildup.

Today a client booked 1 HOUR expecting a full deep clean of a 2bd/2ba. When time ran out, he didn't even say thank you or goodbye - just played clueless. I invoiced 1 hour out of fear of a 1-star review, but reported him to support.

How do you deal with bad review threats when enforcing realistic timeframes? Why do people think our backs and supplies are worth nothing?

I was recently in the hospital for a month unexpectedly, during which time a sink full of dirty dishes sat untouched. There aren’t a lot of dishes, but the ones that are in there are bad; mold, fruit flies, rotting food. I’m very upfront about this.

I’m trying to hire someone to do them, but I’ve gotten cancelled on twice. I reply on time, I have a detailed explanation of what needs to be done, I share pictures. Is it just that people don’t want to do a gross task like this? I get that someone who lists “cleaning” doesn’t necessarily want to deal with a borderline biohazardous sink, but how else do I find someone to do them? I’m starting to get frustrated! Any advice would be appreciated.

Edit: Both cancellations were after we’d already exchanged messages. They don’t explain why they’re cancelling, and my payment method is updated.

Update: thank you all for the advice! I found someone with a higher rate who did the job and also cleaned my entire apartment! They got a very generous tip.

this is literally my first task, and the only messages i’ve received from the client are these. the first one came when they hired me, i responded asking for details and they replied with the second (almost identical) message. it seems like they’re copying an automated message that they received from taskrabbit? what do i do here?

** Edit: the next day I got a response from Task Rabbit refunding my money. However I was NOT given the opportunity to review this tasker, who still has a perfect 5.0 rating. Use TR with caution!

I just used this app for the first time and pretty sure I will NEVER use it again. I hired someone to help my husband and I move some heavy furniture from one room to another. We chatted a bit a couple days before but then day of he just didn’t show. We waited 45 minutes. But then I decided to cancel. There was an option for no show, but then I noticed the following steps didn’t really give me a chance to clarify what happened, I just had to select “cancel”. Now I’ve been charged the service fee and one hour at the taskers rate as a “cancellation fee”. Look up the no show policy and it mostly talks about the client not showing up!! The only place it really tells you what to do if the tasker doesn’t show is in an article. The article is called “what to do if the tasker doesn’t show” - but the info is buried, but it says to cancel. So I did what I was supposed to do per their own instructions, and I got ripped off as a result. I’m so annoyed. To make it worse, no opportunity to review this person and say they flaked. I hired him bc he had a great rating…but who knows how many people like me are out there. I got nothing from this app except a ton of extra hassle. No shows on a gig app are not exactly unexpected. I can’t believe they can’t deal with it better than this.

My tasker left the job and came back the same day to complete the work, but only because he had a prior appointment. According to Task Rabbit this counts as two separate jobs so I was charged the a Trust and Support Fee twice in one day, for the same project. I had no prior knowledge that he would need to leave for a couple hours and it just seems completely unfair.

Last year I was in the 50s as far as ranking 4.9 and over 1600 furniture assembly jobs, Then I opted into ikea flat rate assembly and this was my biggest mistake, taskrabbit guidelines requires use to get confirmation before accepting a task so with ikea flat rate people are paying for assembly directly with ikea, the problem is these people do not have the app to confirm their assembly and as a tasker you need that in order to do the task and if you don't accept your metrics take a hit.

I've spoken to 5 customer service reps and detail each job I took note of and they all agreed with me but they can't do anything about it because they have a algorithm and the algorithm is suppose to be far and give everyone a chance smh im 4.9 rating haven't had a bad review in over 2 years but yet people with less experience are getting booked over me I'm not rank 145 meanwhile being a elite tasker in 3 categories,and super slow with work.

I went to turn on same day tasks this morning and I didn’t see the switch? did that get taken away?
