TaskRabbit is an online and mobile marketplace that allows you to outsource your chores, getting people in your neighbourhood to do them. People in your area, already approved by the site, bid to complete the small jobs with the lowest bid accepted. Its great if you can’t be bothered to assemble your Ikea furniture, need someone to walk your dog or wash your car. In turn, you are providing creative ways for people to make money in a sour economy and many of the workers and users testify to building strong, friendly relationships with the new neighbour who weeds their garden or what have you. The workers do not need a high level of qualification, just ample energy and enthusiasm. TaskRabbit is based in the US but similar services are popping up everywhere including TaskPandas and Sorted, .
