This is one of those services that doesn't make sense to me as a mobile first & only product(for now).

If you are home and see that your house needs to be cleaned, you are probably near a computer. This isnt like Uber where you need to use their service across town. They have just alienated a bunch or their potential user base by just being on iOS (for now, ok whatever). But that's just me.

Here is the link to the app in itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/get-maid/id561621297?mt=8

Thanks for the feedback. Particularly in NYC, we felt that mobile-first would satisfy most people since they can book on their way home, and even if they're in their home, they usually have their phone next to them before their computer. Having said that, booking via desktop will come VERY soon. In the meantime, you can also book via mobile web (go to getmaid.com on any smartphone), not just iOS.
