Groundskeeping/Snow Removal for STRs

[Eric Eckl]

I will be a remote STR host and I will need somebody to keep the yard in good shape and shovel the (occasional) snow.

My HUNCH is there must be some kind of Uber/Lyft/AIRBNB-style crowdsourcing platform for these kinds of services. I upload my job and the platform assigns it to a local service provider who completes it, and sends me before-and-after photos of the work. I can keep track of everything on a phone app.

Of course, I could just hire a local person, but I'm interested in a service that has a deep bench so I don't have to return to Maryland to interview/hire replacements. 

Am I correct that this service exists? And if so, what are your experiences using something like this?

Try Taskrabbit or Thumbtack....

You can look on Facebook Marketplace, Angi, etc to find a local provider.
