An Extra Hand

How It Works

You could help both of them.

Getting a little extra help should be simple. Here’s how An Extra Hand works:

1️⃣ Tell us what you need
A ride, an errand, grocery help, laundry pickup, or even light pet care—we’re here for the small or larger things that make life easier.

2️⃣ We send a trusted helper
We prioritize hiring veterans and pre-screened community helpers, so you always feel safe and supported.

3️⃣ Help on YOUR schedule
No waiting days. No confusing eligibility rules. Just help when you ask—whether it’s today, tomorrow, or next week.

Pricing – Clear & Affordable

Clear, Easy, No-Nonsense Pricing: Just $35/hr

You can’t get any simpler than this.
No booking fees. No need to call days or weeks in advance. No juggling your medical schedule around a driver’s availability.

You call — we’re on it.
Know what day and time you need help? Great. Need someone right now? We’ve got you covered.

✅ Whether it’s a quick local helper or a longer trip, we handle it:

  • Small errands

  • Pet care

  • Household help (like reaching high shelves or cleaning under the fridge)

  • Laundry runs

  • Honey-do lists

We’ll even go on shopping trips with you, help you put groceries away, cook, or assist with more in-depth tasks around the house.

Need a round-trip doctor visit? We’ll drop you off and come back when you’re ready.
If it’s under an hour, we may even wait and walk you back in safely — no waiting, no stress, no nonsense. Just call us and we’ll make sure your helper arrives on time.

 

How We Compare to Uber and other places like it

  • A 15‑mile Uber ride typically costs $30–40 or more EACH way
  • Uber drivers don’t wait or help—you pay again for the ride home
  • With An Extra Hand, $35/hr covers the visit unless you extend it, and you get a trusted helper who assists you personally.
  • Uber and places like it don’t stick around during doctor visits
  • Unlike many other services, with An Extra Hand you can call us the same day and we’ll be there on time.
  • Uber and other places like it won’t carry your packages inside, put your food away, nor screw in a light bulb for you. We do!

Flexible When You Need It

We know life isn’t always predictable. If you’re waiting on your check or need a few days to pay, just talk to us—we’ll work with you.

Our goal is to help you stay in your home comfortably, not add stress.
