Help from abroad

Far from home. Still there for family.

Arrange errands, deliveries, repairs and property checks for parents, relatives or a home in another city or country, and follow every task from wherever you live.

    Say what's needed, the exact area, a time that suits your family and your budget.

  2. 2

    Review offers

    Available workers near that location respond. Compare skills, reviews and price, or counteroffer.

  3. 3

    Tell your family

    Share who is coming and when, so nobody gets an unexpected knock at the door.

  4. 4

    Confirm it's done

    Follow progress in the app, ask for a photo when it's finished and release payment.

Ask for proof

A photo of the repaired tap or the delivered shopping tells you the job is done.

Pay through DoovoX

Payment is held and released when the task is complete. Never ask family to hand over cash or cards.

Keep it to the task

Helpers only need access to the parts of the home the job involves.

Everyday help, not medical care. DoovoX connects you with people for errands, deliveries, repairs and property care. For medical, nursing or medication needs, please use qualified healthcare providers.

Questions people ask

Does my family need a DoovoX account?

No. You can post and manage the task from your own account. Just tell your family who to expect and when.

Which countries does this work in?

DoovoX is a global marketplace. Whether a task can be done depends on available workers in that location, the type of service and local requirements.

How much does it cost?

Posting a task is free. You propose a budget or agree a price with the worker, and a 5% hirer commission applies to the agreed amount.

Can I arrange medical or nursing care?

No. DoovoX is for everyday help such as errands, deliveries, repairs and property checks. Medical care, nursing and anything involving medication should be arranged through qualified healthcare providers.
