I’m looking for a fee-based service that can professionally edit photos for me. I’ve tried using software like GIMP, but I don’t have the skills to get expert-looking results. Are there companies or services that handle things like retouching, background changes, removing people, or similar edits?

The best out there that I have used is RetouchUp. They can easily and quickly turn around one or many images that include fixes such as head swaps, background changes, adding or removing people, etc. I know many professional photographers that use this when more then simple color, crop, white balance, etc is needed. It isn't every shot or even every client that expects heads to be swapped, so this can surely come in handy, and $10 or so is a very reasonable amount for how much time can be saved if you don't have the skills to do it quickly.
Many other competitors big and small exist, just search Google for "digital touchup", "photo retouching", or similar.

Yes. Paid photo editing/retouching services do exist, and community members specifically mentioned RetouchUp as a commonly used option for tasks beyond basic edits. These services can handle things like skin retouching, head swaps, background changes, and removing people from photos. Other users also noted that many similar services can be found by searching terms like “photo retouching” or “photo enhancement services.”
A few cautions: paying per image can add up quickly compared with learning an editor yourself, and outsourcing means someone else is making decisions about the final look of your photo. For occasional or complex edits, though, a retouching service can save a lot of time if you don’t want to do the work yourself.
