TaskRabbit

TaskRabbit Canada offers a digital marketplace where homeowners and renters in supported cities can post home-related tasks and connect with vetted local workers (“Taskers”) to get them done. The platform covers a wide spectrum of services from furniture assembly, TV mounting and help moving, to general handyman work, cleaning, painting and outdoor/seasonal tasks. You create a task with required skills and budget, choose from available Taskers (based on profile, reviews and hourly rate), schedule a time, pay via the app or website, and review the service once complete.

One of the major benefits is convenience: the online booking process, transparent pricing (the Tasker sets their own rate), and access to many service types on one platform. For Canadians who prefer app-based booking over calling individual contractors, TaskRabbit provides a streamlined option. According to the Canada locations page, it supports cities such as Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa and others.

However, a few caveats are worth noting: availability varies by city and by service category (even within a supported city you may find fewer Taskers for specialised trades). The platform itself does not insure tasks; Taskers undergo background checks but you still may wish to verify licensing or insurance for high-risk tasks such as major electrical/plumbing work.

In summary: If you’re looking for a flexible, on-demand way to hire someone for home maintenance or assembly-type work in Canada, TaskRabbit is a strong candidate—just check local availability, task scope and rates before committing.
