Odds are that the washer has levelers, little wheel-like deals on the feet that it stands on. Try rocking the washer when it is not running: if you're able to rock it even a little, you or a neighbor/friend should be able to get down on the floor and turn the one nearest to the corner that it rocks to, until the rocking goes away. Not hard, and a lot cheaper than hiring someone to do it.

Other option (if a top loader): does it do it all the time? Or only at times? If the second, it is probably caused by the load of clothes not put in evenly. If it is rocking then open the door in mid-cycle and try to rearrange the clothes more evenly.
