Popular tasks neighbours are helping with
From Kawartha cottages to GTA condos, ZapTasks connects you with friendly neighbours for everyday help.
Grocery Runs
A friendly neighbour can pick up and deliver your groceries, whether it's a few items or a full list.
General Help
Need an extra hand? Get help with small tasks, moving furniture, or assembling items around the house.
Yard Work
From raking leaves to shovelling snow, neighbours can help keep your property looking great year-round.
How the Marketplace Works
Step 1: Post your job
Share what you need done, set your budget, and target Kawarthas or GTA neighbourhoods 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.
Step 3: Secure & finish
Lock in the booking with a protected 50% deposit via Stripe Connect, then release the rest once the job is signed off.
Marketplace Payment Structure
ZapTasks keeps peer-to-peer work transparent with milestone payments that protect neighbours on both sides of the job:
- Pay a refundable 50% deposit when you accept a neighbour's offer.
- Release the remaining 50% after the work is finished and you're satisfied.
- Our dispute desk steps in fast if anything feels off, so neighbours stay confident to book locally.
