Anthony the owner and Nick did an amazing job helping me move! They loaded our home we have lived in for 11 years in 2 16ft. Pods and did a fantastic job! They communicated well, showed up on time and work hard! They stayed until the job was done, which took longer than the time I had scheduled. As a single lady I appreciated that they were very professional and respectful individuals and I felt completely comfortable and at ease having them in my home. Anthony and Nick were intentional and took care in loading up our things into the Pods. They also did not nick or scratch up the walls while moving our stuff out of the house. I will highly recommend Sitters Movers and would definitely use them again to move. Thank you Anthony and Nick for a job well done! ~Andrea P. La Mesa, CA

Motivated Military Movers Profile Image

They were on time. They worked very hard and were quick. (tip based on how hard they worked). They took care of the furniture......were done in about 2 hr 45 min. However, I was not please with the attitude of the one in charge. He kept telling me he knew what he was doing as he has been in business for 14 years....I tried to have him make some adjustments in how he was stacking the furniture. We had taken drawers out of the heavy furniture to make it easier, he did not give me a chance to fill the drawers back up. He wanted to put the tool box in first and did not like that I said no. He turned my secretary upside down on top of a desk restricting using that space for boxes. I feel he is a good thoughtful worker, but as this was the 5th pod I had on this move, and I loaded each one, that I know my stuff as to what fit. We hired helpers this time as we can no longer move heavy furniture. He would not place barriers(cardboard, or wood) between sections as again he said he has been doing this for 14 years.....We had to pay someone else to make adjustments to the Pod. Had no time to redo the whole pod....As the other 4 pod that we have had in last few months....there was never any movement or any breakage...I am not sure about this move...The gentleman in charge needs to realize that we as the owners of the belongings may have some important input and that we may be old but we do know what we are doing.......Again both workers were professional and worked real hard. I many not have been doing this for 14 years but I have done many moves in 52 years and never had any breakage or damage as yes I do know what I am doing.... I would use Motivated Military Movers again but I will not be put down again. I am old but not done yet....
