'have someone do' is a kind of causative verb, as Servet has already told you. It is a coercive verb, along with 'make' and 'let':
Mother made me wash the dishes.
Mother let me wash my hamster.
Mother had father wash the car.
Mother made me wash the dishes.
Mother let me wash my hamster.
Mother had father wash the car.
