New Request Details
Step 1 of 5
Your progress stays here while this page is open
The simplest process ever
You name the price. They show up. That’s it.
A few steps. Even less hassle.
★The bit nobody else does
1
You set the price.
Tell us the type of service you need — and, more importantly, how much you want to pay. Getting that established right up front saves you time and money.
2
They show up.
Vetted local workers raise their hand, you make your selection, and your job gets done.
3
That’s it!
We transfer your payment to the worker securely and instantly. You rate your worker — and can even add them as a favorite for future jobs. Done!
Other apps stop at the easy stuff. Gopher Request keeps going — because a real neighbor would.
Age-restricted
Beer, wine, and the occasional vape pen.
Your Gopher is a real, verified adult. They check ID. We’ll deliver what most apps quietly refuse to.
Same-day, often same-hour
That thing you needed an hour ago.
Forgotten cord. Last-minute gift. Pickup the courier said couldn’t happen until Tuesday. Post the request — someone’s usually rolling within minutes.
Odd-job-friendly
The one nobody else has a category for.
Move a piano three blocks. Stand in a return line. Drop a casserole at your mom’s. If a neighbor could do it, a Gopher will.
You name the price
The number you’d actually pay.
No surge. No service fee theater. You offer what feels fair — and a Gopher in your neighborhood says yes, or doesn’t.
Take a look at a comprehensive list of services some of your incredible neighbors can help you with. Visit our designated page here → Gopher Services

Bad weather? No Problem! Gopher is the best! Our sales team was in the office on a rainy day and not one of us wanted to brave the weather to grab lunch. What to do? Call Gopher! We had lunch delivered by a Gopher in under 30 minutes! Fast and friendly! Highly recommend this service.

I'm really happy to see the growth of the Gopher community in and around the Triangle. I love the convenience of getting what I want when I want it when I might not have the time to do it myself. I've used Gopher for hauling away junk, basic errands, meal delivery, and even ride share.

Great for a college move-in! We used Gopher for the first time earlier this week to help with moving our daughter into her college dorm. Our gopher, Alex, was a great help! He was friendly and efficient. Our unloading time was probably nearly cut in half with his help. I highly recommend getting a gopher to help with a move-in!

The only platform that has your back. …and your Worker’s!
—trust that runs both ways
Every other gig app checks the worker for your safety. We do that too. But we’re the first gig marketplace ever to provide assurance for the workers. With TrustShield™ you can verify yourself, so the worker showing up at your door has real assurance too. Trust shouldn’t only protect one side of the handshake.
It’s free, it’s optional, and verified requesters can even earn savings on certain requests - because a little assurance makes the whole marketplace move faster.
Verify once. Carry your TrustShield™ badge across every request you make.
Learn about Gopher’s commitment to Trust and Safety on our worker portal too.

You've already selected your worker
You hire one worker per request. If your job needs a crew, the worker you select is responsible for bringing the additional workers. To choose someone else, remove your selected Gopher first.
🚀

Your full crew is hired. Tap Start job when you're ready to get going.

This will cancel the request and notify any interested workers. Don't worry — a cancelled request isn't gone for good. You can always find it later under Previous requests.

Setting up your -To Request
This feature allows you to submit a request with a single tap —
no review screen and no confirmation, just GO!
You’ll review the previous request you selected, make sure everything looks good and
then save. That’s it.
You can edit or remove it any time.
📸
Add a profile photo to continue
Gopher Request connects real neighbors with real local workers. A clear profile photo keeps everyone safe and accountable, so we ask every Request member to add one. It only takes a second.
👤
JPG or PNG. A clear headshot works best.
This looks age-restricted
Your request mentions "this item", which is commonly an age-restricted item. To keep everyone compliant with legal and safe-guarding protocols, please confirm whether this is an age-restricted request before continuing.
Submitting an age-restricted request without a valid ID at completion means the worker cannot release the items. The order may be canceled, you may still be charged worker time/fees, and repeat issues can lead to account review.
⚠️
Most age-restricted orders need a purchase
You marked this age-restricted but turned off Purchase needed. Almost all age-restricted deliveries require a purchase — without one, your card is authorized for a lower amount, and if your Gopher needs to add items later, re-authorizing your card can fail and stall your order.
Only skip if you truly don't need anything purchased — e.g. a prescription pickup or pre-paid alcohol.
A quick note on your offer
You're always free to offer whatever you'd like, neighbor — but this one's on the lower end of what Gopher iQ suggests.
Gopher isn't an auto-fulfillment service. Every request is accepted by a real neighbor who chooses to take it, based on whether the offer feels fair to them. Other platforms can back their workers into jobs where they actually lose money — we're committed to never letting that happen. The work gets done by mutual agreement, and that's what keeps it fair for everyone.
Offers at this level can be accepted, and sometimes are — but more often they aren't. You're welcome to send it as-is, or adjust it to help it get picked up sooner.
You already have this request out
It looks like you already have a nearly identical request broadcasting right now. Posting it again sends two of the same job to Gophers — and splits their attention across duplicates.
Keep waiting on the one you already sent, or send this as a separate request anyway?
Gopher Deals

Local Gopher Deals are on their way to your neighborhood. Check back soon to discover offers from nearby businesses and neighbors.
