Odd Jobs & Small Gigs

Not every job fits neatly into a category. Odd jobs and small gigs are exactly what Biddy Jobs was built for — the errands, quick fixes, and one-off favors that are too small to call a company about but too much to handle alone. Maybe it’s a leaky faucet washer you keep forgetting to grab, a bookshelf that’s been half-assembled for a week, or someone needed on-site for a two-hour delivery window. Post it, name your price, and get help from a neighbor nearby.

What people post as odd jobs

• Errands and pickups — grocery runs, prescription pickups, dropping off returns
• Waiting on deliveries or repair techs — someone to be home when you can’t be
• Event setup and teardown — parties, yard sales, small gatherings
• Assembly and mounting — furniture, shelving, small fixtures
• Seasonal help — holiday lights, decorations up or down
• One-off favors — anything that needs an extra pair of hands for an hour

Available in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Coral Springs, plus the rest of Broward and Palm Beach County.

Why post it instead of doing it yourself

Plenty of odd jobs get put off for weeks, not because they’re hard, but because there’s never a good time to get to them. Posting takes two minutes, and someone nearby who’s already free that day can usually take it off your list faster than you’d get to it yourself. It’s also a fair trade both ways: posters get their to-do list handled without chasing down a company for a five-minute favor, and Bidders get paid for time they’d otherwise spend scrolling their phone. Over a few weeks, those small tasks add up to a genuinely shorter to-do list, and a little extra cash for whoever picked them up.

How it works

Post your task, describe what you need, and set your own price or ask for bids. Compare nearby neighbors ready to help, then pay securely once the job’s done — payment is held in escrow through Stripe until you confirm it’s complete. See the full step-by-step process.

Tips for a fast response

The posts that get picked up quickest are specific: say exactly what you need, roughly how long it should take, and when you need it done. A price range helps too — Bidders are more likely to respond fast to a post that already signals what you consider fair. If timing matters, say so directly (“needs to happen before 5pm today”) rather than leaving it open-ended.

Odd jobs FAQ

What counts as an odd job on Biddy?
Anything that doesn’t fit neatly into yard work, handyman repairs, moving, or house cleaning. If it’s a real task with a clear outcome, it’s fair game to post.

Can I post something really small, like a 20-minute task?
Yes — that’s exactly what this category is for. Set a price that reflects the time, and Bidders will let you know if it works for them.

How do I bid if I’m on the earning side?
Be specific about your availability and what you can realistically get done in the time. These tasks move fast, so a quick, clear bid usually wins. See our guide to small gigs for more.

Do I need to be specific, or can I post something vague and see who responds?
Specific posts get better bids. A vague post like “need help with stuff around the house” tends to sit unanswered, while a clear ask — what, roughly how long, and by when — gets a response within hours in most cases.
