FAQs for finding an errand runner

The average national cost for errand runners on Care.com is $19.67 per hour as of October 2025. This rate can vary depending on where you live, how often you will need the person to work for you, what types of errands you need for them to run and the experience they have.

An errand runner is generally open to helping you with any day-to-day tasks you have. This includes grocery shopping, picking up your laundry from the dry cleaners, taking items in your house to storage, driving your pets to a veterinarian appointment, etc.

To find the right person to take care of your errand needs, filter for candidates in your area and compare each person's hourly rate, the availability they have and how long they've been running errands for other families. You can also see if another family in your area has left any feedback about a candidate you're interested in.
