General
What is DoMyThing?
DoMyThing is a free local task marketplace for Warwickshire. It connects people who need tasks done (Taskers) with local people who can do them (Doers). Post a task, receive offers from locals, and pick who you hire — or browse open tasks and earn money completing them.
Is DoMyThing really free?
Yes — completely free. No sign-up fee, no monthly subscription, no commission on earnings and no per-task charge. Both posting tasks and sending offers are free. We don't run ads either.
Where does DoMyThing operate?
Warwickshire only — by design. We cover Leamington Spa, Warwick, Kenilworth, Stratford-upon-Avon, Rugby, Nuneaton, Bedworth and surrounding villages, plus parts of Coventry.
Do I need an account to browse tasks?
You can see a preview of open tasks on the homepage without an account. To see all tasks, send offers or post your own, you'll need a free account — takes about 60 seconds.
Posting tasks
How do I post a task?
Sign in or create a free account, then click "Post a task". Describe what you need, pick a category, add your location and submit. Your task goes live immediately.
What makes a good task post?
Be specific about what you need, where and when. A clear title and description helps doers give you an accurate price. If it's urgent, tick the Urgent box. Adding photos also helps.
Can I edit or delete my task after posting?
Yes. You can edit or close your task at any time from your dashboard.
What types of tasks can I post?
Anything legal and reasonable — cleaning, gardening, home repairs, removals, handyman jobs, business services and more. Tasks must be in Warwickshire.
Offers & hiring
How quickly will I get offers?
Most tasks receive their first offer within a few hours. Popular categories like cleaning and gardening tend to get offers quickly.
How do I choose which offer to accept?
Review each offer — look at the price, the doer's note, and their profile including past ratings and reviews.
Can I message a doer before accepting?
Yes. You can message anyone who has made an offer to ask questions before you accept.
What happens after I accept an offer?
The doer is notified. You can message each other to confirm the exact time and details. Then they come and do the job.
Earning money
How much can I earn?
You set your own price for every task. Many people use DoMyThing for a side income; others use it as their main source of work.
Do I need qualifications?
For everyday tasks like cleaning, gardening or odd jobs, no qualifications are needed. For regulated trades such as gas or electrical work, you must hold the relevant certifications.
Do I need insurance?
Not mandatory but strongly recommended. Public liability insurance protects both you and the customer.
Can I do this part-time?
Absolutely. No minimum hours, no shifts. Browse tasks whenever you want and only send offers on jobs that fit your schedule.
Payments
How does payment work?
Payment is arranged directly between you and the customer — cash, bank transfer, card reader or any method you both agree. DoMyThing does not process any payments. You keep 100%.
When should I get paid?
Typically on completion of the job. Agree the payment method and timing before you start work.
What if a customer doesn't pay?
Payment disputes are between you and the customer directly. Agree everything in chat before starting, and consider asking for a deposit on larger jobs.
Safety & trust
How do I know if a doer is trustworthy?
Check their profile — look at ratings and reviews from previous customers. Verified badges indicate extra trustworthiness.
What should I do if I have a problem?
First try to resolve it directly via chat. If unable, contact us at domythingapp@gmail.com.
Is my personal data safe?
Yes. Your information is stored securely and never sold. Read our Privacy Policy for full details.
