San Diego Mover Reviews
The team was excellent! Fast, efficient and loaded everything into 1 pack!
Anthony and his “team of Nicks” were incredibly warm and comforting, I felt 100% comfortable with them by myself in my home. Total 3 movers arrived as expected (gave a 2 hr eta in advance which was helpful) and truly listened to what I needed and handled everything with thought and care. From my light holiday decor to my commercial treadmill, they executed perfectly. I had 3 PODS and didn’t even need the 3rd one because of the Tetris game they played stocking the first 2 PODS! Nothing in those POD is moving during travel for sure! I am confident my “home on the move” will arrive in tact at its final destination. Thank you Anthony, Nick and Nick! I couldn’t give more praises you all. Anthony, from our first phone call, I was confident I called the right person to coordinate and execute my POD loading. For any of mine or friends moves in the SoCal area in the future, I will 1000% be recommending Sitter’s Movers! P.S. A 3-MAN CREW IS WORTH IT!
Highly highly recommend this company. They were professional, on time, and efficient. I will let all my friends know about them.
On time and experts at getting everything in the POD. I highly recommend them.
Great job!
KFK provided excellent service. Communication before the actual loading of our POD was more than I expected. The contact person was patient, knowledgeable and able to answer oall of my questions .The two gentleman who efficiently loaded our POD did a great job! They arrived prepared, ready to work and work they did. We did not encounter any damage to our household goods. Highly recommend JFK Moving.
They were quite late arriving, which was pretty nerve wracking and frustrating since I also couldn't get in touch with them. They didn't arrive together, the second guy came about 30 minutes later. This made for a bit of a disjointed process, not as smooth as I was expecting. Heath did a great job maximizing the space inside the truck and made ample use of the ratchet straps we had. I would have liked if more of the items had been covered with the moving blankets since some furniture did get a little scraped up and dirty during the loading process. They did work quickly and efficiently though and none of our items were broken after a very long drive in the truck so that is what is most important.
Very friendly and hard working! Thank you.
Cliff and Thomas were amazing! They were professional, polite, took great care of my home and belongings, and wonderful to work with. Would use their service again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
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....
Very professional and moved my stuff with care. They also did a great job organizing my furniture into the house right place. I would definitely use them again
Both guys were wonderful and effective.
On time, worked quietly and quickly, were respectful of property. I really appreciated Misha and Voa, our movers. Yes, I would definitely recommend them and if I were in need of movers again, I would not hesitate to hire them!
They moved everything quickly and carefully
These guys were super pleasant, kind, and strong enough for our heaviest items; they really killed it!

Real Advice from San Diego Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in San Diego. (They’re really nice!)
"Parking is tough in San Diego, so having a loading zone nearby and available will save a lot of time. Also, if you are moving into a space with an elevator, you may need to reserve it."

The farther out you can plan your move, the greater the availability you will have in choosing a date and time that is convenient for you.

Major Neighborhoods in San Diego
San Diego has earned the nickname “America’s Finest City” due to its golden-sand beaches, mild climate, consistent recreational activities, and its many charming neighborhoods located all throughout the area. With the help of a professional mover who knows all the ins and outs of San Diego, you’ll be able to move with no surprises.
Downtown San Diego
When it comes to San Diego, Downtown is all about its convenience and accessibility to other places. You can easily walk to a game at Petco Park, or to one of the many music events at The Rady Shell. (That is, unless it's the week of Comic-Con, then anything goes!) Since there are many one-way streets, downtown can get traffic heavy and has parking issues, so it's best to book professional movers who can swiftly move you into those new high rises on Market Avenue, or the lofts on Broadway.
Pacific Beach
Pacific Beach in San Diego is your ticket to the ultimate beachside lifestyle. You want walkability? Marketplaces? Frisbees? It's all in the DNA of this beachfront haven. If you're moving in the summer, keep in mind PB can get congested; while traffic usually isn’t quite as heavy here, it still gets backed up because of its narrow streets. However, professional movers know how to get you into your Mission Boulevard beachfront condo in a matter of hours.
Hillcrest
Hillcrest, one of the most charming neighborhoods in San Diego, has a vibrant vibe for those seeking a fresh start. (And your move to Hillcrest deserves a grand entrance, just like the iconic Hillcrest sign!) Even beyond its nationally renowned parades, talk to any local and they will tell you that parking is the biggest challenge. Luckily, moving pros are used to working with virtually anything along University, Robinson, and Washington.
North Park
You'll find hip, urban living with a refreshing twist in North Park, San Diego. There are tons of great shops (check out Artelexia!), entertainment staples like the LaFayette Hotel and concerts at The Observatory, and incredible food and vibes at eateries like Park & Rec and City Tacos. It's no secret that North Park has limited parking options, but San Diego movers know exactly where to go to get in and out easily.

They were amazing! They were on time and professional. Packed everything away efficiently. We needed them for extra time and they were very accommodating.
Very professional and moved my stuff with care. They also did a great job organizing my furniture into the house right place. I would definitely use them again
I would recommend their services to anyone. They were great. They were punctual, communicative (text), professional and really good at getting a moving truck packed. They went above and beyond expectation. They're GREAT!!
Our moving team showed up at their scheduled time and worked so efficiently. They got all of our stuff wrapped and carefully loaded into limited space so quickly. I was fully impressed and incredibly grateful.
We were very pleased with the Sd247movers crew led by Andrew. They were on time, polite, respectful of our property and knowledgeable regarding how best to pack, load and unload our items efficiently and with no damage. Considering they were paid by the hour they worked without any breaks to ensure our costs were kept down. Would recommend them to anyone.
On time, worked quietly and quickly, were respectful of property. I really appreciated Misha and Voa, our movers. Yes, I would definitely recommend them and if I were in need of movers again, I would not hesitate to hire them!
Wow! Andrew was so knowledgeable about everything- unpacking, putting stuff together, finding fixes for lost parts. He was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!
Very professional, prompt, focused and friendly. The 2 gentlemen went over and above our expectations. They didn’t quit until the work was completely done, packed and ready for us to confidently drive away knowing our belongings were secure. We’re very pleased. Highly recommended.
The movers were extremely efficient and responsive as well as personally likable. There were very conscientious contacts from their boss that went well beyond professional and excellent and ventured into the profession of mine, psychotherapy, in being unusually perceptive and supportive. This is simply an excellent company.
Movers Tony, Mike, Kevin, Bryant, and Boss Mike did an outstanding job packing our POD. They showed up on time, were friendly & professional, and worked hard to fit our belongings into the POD. They did an excellent job wrapping mirrors & furniture to protect them from damage. I would hire them again.
Mike and Tony were fantastic! They handled all of our possessions with care and professionalism. They were prompt, friendly, and fun to work with. Excellent movers!
Handled so much without needing my input! I could focus on dealing with packing and delegation and they just handled all the storage, automatically. Professionals.
