I'm happy to hire a cleaner for cleaning seven days a week and to pay above bare minimum wage because it's a tricky job, and as someone with experience in cleaning I can testify that occassionaly it is a very difficult field because of abusive employers/clientel. Cleaners are not dirt. Not everyone wants to do that job, you have to pay people properly. More...

When using for ndis they always with out fail send you a late payment message the day after they send the invoice. They won't send the invoice to your plan manager. The first lady that they sent was great she was energetic and friendly. I sent a glowing review. Then they sent a lady who just didn't care and she was the one they kept sending. More...

I am mostly happy with the service I receive. My only criticism is that the cleaners don't always use the right products (such as window cleaner vs disinfectant) and Jarvis can't guarantee the exact time that the cleaner will arrive (usually a 5 hour window). I do recommend the company though, I look forward to my weekly clean! More...

House Cleaning

I hired Jarvis after being recommended it by Bark.com. It was definitely a very disappointing experience! First cleaner did not show up, got a call two hours after she was supposed to start saying she was sick. Jarvis organised a replacement a few days later and she was extremely slow to complete a few tasks. It took her over two hours to wipe down my kitchen (which was not that bad). A new cleaner was then allocated and she arrived on time but seemed to rush through and completed 3 hours work in less than two. She then left the cleaning products where she used them, wet clothes in the sink, mop in bathroom etc. I had to pack away after she left. I persevered and the same lady came the next fortnight, once again completing her work in under 2 hours whilst I was being charged for 3 hours.
The next fortnight, she did not turn up and I received no call or explanation. Jarvis however, took my money. The same thing happened the next fortnight.
I finally gave up and cancelled.
So disappointing!

House Cleaning

Hi Team,

Thank you very much for your email.

I recently had a baby and I know my house needed a good clean. Your butler tried to clean most of it and I didn’t expect it to be 100 percent perfect. But he tried to rush around a few things and basic things like glasses and all are not clean. 

I won’t say I had a bad experience but it was not exceptional as well. 

Please see the picture of my mirror. It was better before cleaning.

And few other things as well he has missed.

I would appreciate if someone else can come and fix the remaining issues.

I would only continue with the fortnight service when I would be 100 happy.

They confirmed my booking and then did inform me that they actually hadn't found a cleaner until I contacted them after the cleaner was supposed to have arrived. They then did rebook someone for the next day which was appreciated. However, I chose them because they said it would be okay, on the phone, if the cleaner cleaned my house and my neighbour's (I checked multiple times on the phone when I made the booking that this was okay) - but afterwards they then sent me an angry message saying that this was not okay (but they had not noticed the note taken by their phone operator that said that this was the nature of the job I requested). Their poor communication systems result in an unprofessional service. More...

We had Leah, she’s excellent. However, I was disappointed in the scheduling as this is the second time there have been significant delays and it means I have to rush her and I miss my own appointments. I have requested first appointment of the day moving forward so hoping this is honored by whoever does the scheduling/rosters. I only budget 3 hours so what is not done in that time, I do. Leah is lovely and works hard and well. Highly recommend her. More...

House Cleaning

I received a call from this company and booked and the lady explained if I pay $5 more per hour I could get express booking. Which I did. They assembled me a “butler” to clean my house “ for 8:30am. First of all that person came at 7:30am and asked me if he can start earlier which I don’t mind. After being upstairs I came and check and got shock after 2 hours cleaning he didn’t even manage to clean 1 bathroom. 2 hours for 1 bathroom? He was standing barefoot in my bath and spraying water everywhere. He actually put my upstairs house under water. My wooden floors being all under water. He put all the shampoo bottles on the floor and was standing inside the shower and it was a mess. I asked him why he didn’t manage to clean anything and he said that the mop isn’t good enough. I was devastated, he insult me. I rand the company and they promised to sort it out. Never rand back. I had to ask this person to leave my house and it took me hours to clean up his mess. In 2 hours I expected at least he would clean 2 bathrooms. What a waste of time and I don’t know how businesses like this got good reviews. Cleaning experience ZERO. More...

Their customer service is screwed up. I have previously used Jarvis directly but since they were totally non responsive this time, I tried Bark and got their call within minutes.

I have emailed them. Texted them. Called them. They didn’t get back to me and addressed the issues. Yes they are prompt in getting back to you when it concerns them. Their focus is to catch more clients and get their payment details for auto deduction. I had so much confusion getting one visit organised via Bark. They selectively got back to me only regarding payment skipping all my concerns. Their rep on phone who took the booking agreed on 35/hr plus 2 subsequent free visits because I was booking through Bark. That visit was a no show. I left another clean request on Bark, I got a call again within mins and that’s where I ended up complaining to them. I couldn’t reach out anyyywhere to Jarvis while I waited for hours for my cleaner and wasted my day. For compensation Jarvis offered me 50% off next visit which but the cleaner who showed up was very average. Just gave a wipe down which I can do myself in between major cleans.

It was a 2 hr visit. With a 50% off it should have been $ 35 but they invoiced me $43. I again had to wait to hear from them. Their team is messing up payments. If you make a booking please ensure they are charging you right. I prefer direct deposit, they were unable to deduct $43. I made the payment myself as agreed. And it’s been days I am still seeing an outstanding $43 on my Jarvis account. I have been asking about the next free visits and again they are completely ignoring.

Please note this is my 8th or 9th experience with Jarvis. 2 or 3 were a no show. But they rectified the problem. Once they sent a male cleaner and my strict preference was a female. I had a cleaner who did 3 visits. Caused a damaged and multiple accidents at home but Jarvis took care of it. I have had 4 pleasant visits. The rest were frustrating as hell. Customer care adds to all the frustration.

Q&As

We've been operating across Australia for the last five years!

Yes, we can supply vacuums (including steam cleaners), mops, disinfectant and other equipment upon request.

A majority of our clients prefer to provide their own equipment for hygiene reasons, and our preference for that reason is to use client equipment where we can.

We love helping people to Come Home Happy!

It's an immense privilege to service thousands of clients across Australia, and also to serve the cleaners and suppliers in our business.

When we first started, we saw a huge opportunity to help cleaners.

Residential cleaning has traditionally been a difficult job that's under-appreciated and underpaid. Cleaners often travel long distances and absorb long wait times between their different clients. Cleaners also spend significant amounts of their time handling admin - following up payments, coordinating schedules with clients etc.

Our mission with Jarvis is to empower cleaners: by paying a fair rate, by offering them scheduling and customer support tools to make the job as efficient as possible, and by providing them a platform to build their own client base and business.

In addition to our five years of operating experience, in which we've picked up many of the subtle nuances and ins-and-outs of delivering a great cleaning and customer service experience, we offer all our clients the following:

- All our housekeepers have previous experience (eg. in commercial cleaning, housekeeping etc.)
- All housekeepers are vetted and insured up to $20m
