Taskrabbit Acquires Dolly to Strengthen Local Moving and Delivery Services

SAN FRANCISCO, November 5, 2024 – Taskrabbit, the platform connecting people to skilled, reliable Taskers within their communities, is excited to announce its acquisition of Dolly, a leading on-demand moving and delivery service. This step highlights Taskrabbit’s dedication to providing enhanced moving and delivery services, offering customers a seamless solution that prioritizes ease and convenience.

With a shared vision of making local moving and delivery simple and dependable, there is natural alignment across both brands in terms of their foundations and plans for the future. Leveraging Dolly’s expertise in moving and delivery, Taskrabbit expands its support for customers in search of smooth and adaptable solutions for their moving needs—whether relocating, remodeling, or transporting items securely and efficiently. This partnership also scales Taskrabbit’s investment in the B2B retail space as the companies jointly aim to develop offerings that better serve retailers’ evolving needs.

“This acquisition brings us one step further in fulfilling our mission of transforming lives, one task at a time,” said Ania Smith, CEO of Taskrabbit. “Moving can be a stressful experience for many. With our customers at the forefront of every decision we make, Taskrabbit and Dolly will together bring more flexibility and accessibility to moving and delivery services, aiming to solve key customer and partner pain points across combined platform offerings.”

“Dolly’s 10 years of in-depth delivery, moving, and retail partnership experience will serve as a huge asset to Taskrabbit,” says Mike Howell, SVP of Moving and Delivery at Taskrabbit, Co-founder and former CEO of Dolly. “We are thrilled to join the Taskrabbit family and are getting straight to work to bring the high-quality services that Dolly customers and partners have come to love to Taskrabbit customers across the country.”

In the short term, there will be no immediate changes to the Dolly service offerings. Over time, the two teams will collaborate to combine resources, introducing new features and service enhancements to benefit customers, contractors, and partners alike. Customers and partners can expect more streamlined booking experiences, access to a broader range of skilled moving and delivery contractors, and the same high-quality services they have come to trust from Taskrabbit and Dolly.
