Maybe I need a handyman to do the entire job ? Any recommendations?

Yep. Just close the valve coming out of the wall. Disconnect gas line at valve and dryer. For a little added protection get a threaded plug to fit into the valve to ensure there can't be any gas leaking past the valve. Make sure you wrap the plug in thread/Teflon tape before screwing it in.
