Now that the techies have gigafied the economy, pretty much anyone with a smartphone can find a side-hustle. With Lyft and Uber, you can enjoy the company of drunk partygoers and motor-mouthed tourists while you sit in traffic. Or, if you’re a foodie, you can stink up your car with the smell of fried grub while driving for DoorDash. If neither of those sound appealing (we don’t blame you), you might want to try TaskRabbit, which offers a wide variety of jobs that don’t require any special skills. From cleaning house to pet sitting, here are 10 easy ways to make money on TaskRabbit.

Spruce Up Someone’s Home
If you’ve got a keen eye, consider decorating and interior design jobs. While the latter of the two pays more ($132 – $200), clients will expect that you have some design experience.
Pick Up Groceries and Run Other Errands
While this is a fairly easy job, it’s also prone to scammers who ask Taskers to buy gift cards. To protect yourself, refuse jobs that involve gift cards and be sure to document purchases you make on a client’s behalf.
Take On Minor Repairs
Assuming you already have the tools and some basic know-how, taking on small repair jobs is one of the most lucrative tasks on the platform.
