How booking works.

1. Pick a service.

Browse cleaners, gardeners, or other local providers in your region.

2. Send a request.

Tell the provider what you need. They'll reply with a fixed price. No bidding.

3. Confirm and pay.

Your card is held when you confirm, and only charged once the job's done.

The cleaning listings: two provider cards with the Verified badge, a New badge on one and a 5.0 rating on the other, short bios, and hourly rates

Real people nearby, their rate, and reviews from completed bookings.

Payments run through Stripe. Your contact details are only shared once a booking is confirmed.

Reviews can only be left on completed bookings. There are no bank-transfer workarounds, and phone numbers stay private.

A note from Nikki

Hi, I'm Nikki, the person behind BetweenBells. I moved to Alexandra a few years ago and quickly realised I needed help with jobs around the house. But other than Facebook, it was hard to find anyone!

Now that I've been here a while, I've met loads of awesome locals. Whether you're a cleaner, gardener or handy at odd jobs and want to earn a bit of money, or you need to book someone to help you out, I'm here to help. That's what this site is for.

Why “BetweenBells”? The school bells. Loads of locals fit their work in between drop-off and pick-up, so the name felt right. But it's not just school hours. Providers here work whatever hours suit them.

I check and approve every provider myself, and payments go through Stripe. Want to know more? Email hello@betweenbells.co.nz, or if you'd rather have a chat over a coffee to see how the site works, we can do that too.
