This is what I need, a site like taskrabbit that takes bitcoin, and can be used in my city.
Or use TaskRabbit, if they were to simply to start taking bitcoin for payment.
They don't even accept Dwolla yet, so Bitcoin is probably even further out. You can get on Dwolla's notification list though to learn when that happens, if it eventually does. When that happens then there would be at least a not all that complicated path: BTC --> USD (at an exchange) --> Dwolla --> TaskRabbit.

Someone on the #bitcoin-otc marketplace would be willing to make the purchase and enter your e-mail address as the recipient.

http://www.taskrabbit.com/giftAnother service that at one point was kind of similar to TaskRabbit (though I'm not sure how similar they are still), is Zaarly. And though they don't take Bitcoin yet, they will likely be accepting Dwolla:
Zaarly's a marketplace. Dwolla does payments. So, one audience member asked towards the end of the session, can we ever expect to see the two startups work together?
[Zaarly CEO] Fishback said there's a high probability. "We've been talking about it for awhile," he said. "There's some cool magic to be done between Zaarly and Dwolla ... I have no doubt about that."
"I'd bet an enormous amount of money," he continued, "that sometime in the next year there will be some cool stuff going on there."
