Two ways to hire

You choose who comes over.

You pick them

Book a provider

Search verified people nearby, see their rate with tax, and book a time.

They come to you

Post the work

Describe the job. Nearby providers send a quote. You choose who to hire.

On the day

Simple from knock to payment.

Step 1

They check in

Your provider checks in at your address and you confirm they arrived.

Step 2

You confirm, then pay

You're charged only when the work is done. Tips go 100% to them.

Step 3

Rate each other

Both reviews unlock together, so nobody rates defensively.

Why it feels safe

Trust is built in, not bolted on.

Verified first

ID, payouts and a human review before any job.

Charged after

A hold before the day. A charge only when it's done.

Presence, not promises

Check-in happens at your address.

Reviews both ways

Hidden until both are in.

Identity verified
Checked in at your door

For providers

Your skills, your hours, your neighbourhood.

Set your rates and radius. Get booked, or quote on nearby jobs.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I pick a provider, or post the job?

Either, in the app. Search nearby verified providers and book one, or post what you need and let nearby providers apply with a quote. You choose who to hire either way.

When am I charged?

You are not charged when you book. We place a hold on your card up to 48 hours before the job, then charge you only after the work is done and confirmed. Hourly jobs bill the time actually worked, rounded up to the nearest 15 minutes. The provider is paid after a short waiting period.

Who can offer services?

Anyone 18 or older in Canada who passes identity verification, completes payout onboarding, and gets profile approval from our team. You also attest that you carry your own liability insurance if your trade requires it.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancel 24 hours or more before the start and there is no fee. Inside 24 hours a 25% late-cancellation fee applies. If a provider cancels late, you are not charged and they carry a strike.
