Need a hand? Post a task and get help from a neighbour.
ZapTasks is the Canadian marketplace where you can post any task—from grocery runs to yard work—and find trusted neighbours to help. Compare offers, chat before booking, and pay securely.
We use your selections to pre-fill the job post so you can publish and get offers faster.
Every hire earns a public review, so you can build a shortlist of neighbours you trust for future projects.

How the Marketplace Works
Step 1: Post your job
Share what you need done, set your budget, and reach nearby neighbours in under 60 seconds.
Step 2: Compare offers
Nearby neighbours and helpers apply with their availability. Chat in-app, review ratings, and pick the offer that fits.

Lock in the booking with the right escrow milestone via Stripe Connect, then release the rest once the job is signed off.
