How do ratings and reviews work?

After each gig, both sides can leave a rating and short review. Reviews should stay about the work and remain respectful. You can report any review for moderation.

What tasks are not allowed?

Anything unsafe or age-restricted, including power tools, ladders above step height, driving, hazardous chemicals, heavy machinery, handling cash drops, or entering dangerous areas.

How far in advance should I post my task?

It depends on the task. Some tasks are time-sensitive and need to be completed quickly, while others are more flexible. As a general rule, try to schedule tasks at least 3-5 days in advance to give everyone enough time to prepare. The more lead time you can provide, the smoother the process will be for everyone.

How do refunds work?

If the task was not completed as agreed, request a resolution in the app within the stated window. We review the case and may issue a partial or full refund per policy.

What if something comes up, can I cancel or reschedule a task I posted?

Yes. While it's always best to keep the gig on-time and not cancel, we understand that things change and sometimes there are situations where you need to reschedule or cancel a gig and our app allows you to do that easily.

What if I need to change details after posting?

You can edit time, instructions, and price before the gig is accepted. After acceptance, request a change in chat or reschedule in the app.

What if the student is late or cancels?

If your student helper is running late, you can send them a message through the app to adjust the timing. If they cancel or don’t arrive, you have the option to reschedule, cancel the gig without penalty, or tap “Find another helper” to request a quick replacement.

We expect students to communicate proactively, but if there’s a no-show or repeated lateness, we encourage you to report it in the app. Our team reviews all reports to help ensure students remain accountable and reliable for future gigs.

Can I request the same student again?

Yes. Use the “Rebook” feature in the app to request the same student.

How do I write a clear gig and set the right price?

Use the questions in “Create New Task” to guide you. Include a clear description of the task, expected time, tools provided, pet or access notes, and your ideal schedule. The app suggests typical local price ranges as a default, so use those if you’re unsure.
