We are here to ensure your next move is your best move! The owner, Anthony Sitter, is a former Marine Corps Officer and graduate of the United States Naval Academy. Anthony moved around quite a bit during his time in the military (literally all over the world) and felt he could better serve customers from a place of understanding the stresses involved.

Anthony and Mark were amazing, courteous, and efficient. They arrived on time and we got right to work. It's a shame we're moving out of state, otherwise we'd definitely be hiring them again.

Sitters Moving are extremely professional and about the handling and care of your possessions. If there were 6 stars I would give them 6 stars

What a wonderful experience, Anthony was just amazing! We had two PODS going to two different locations which added to the complexity. We had talked with Anthony prior to the move and he sent a very useful list of “to-do’s” which we thankfully did most. His estimates for materials needed were very good. His recommendations on size and PODS capacity were better/realistic than PODS themselves. We had to prioritize the day of the move and Anthony was very accommodating. We would definitely recommend Sitter’s to friends and family.

Anthony was great! Communication before the job was excellent. Both he and Mark were exactly on time, both worked VERY hard and the did an excellent job of packing our moving container. YES, I would use them again.

They were very friendly and appeared to be good movers. At the end of the truck being loaded, a large futon frame was standing up with several items around it including a computer desk and some nightstands. The futon was tied down, but not securely enough. When the truck arrived and I opened the door, the futon frame had fallen forward and crushed several items including the computer desk which is totally unusable and was only less than a year old. Several end table were also damaged. All damaged occurred in this one area due to the futon not being secured properly. If it had been properly secured none of this would have occurred.
Spoke with Anthony whose only comment was they did nothing wrong since when the truck was closed everything was OK. He is denying any responsibility for not properly securing the futon.
guess we will have to see what judge says in court.

02/02/20 Update- You can at lest be honest, you were provided a strap to tie the furniture down. Several other straps were available and you did not request any others. You were provided moving blankets, plus comforters and other bedding that you used. At the end you left one brand new moving blanket unused. You suggested loading the truck to the very end.

Mover's response:
Mr. Aguero, I am sorry for your loss but honestly am surprised more damage did not occur. We expressed many concerns throughout the day which you dismissed. Specifically, you did not want us to use the strap we did use - yet we urged you that it was important. You also did not have sufficient blankets and protective materials for your furniture. We very much included you in the decision making throughout the day. You approved our loading work along the way and specifically at the end.

A move is a very big deal and you simply were not prepared to execute this move well.

Anthony has THE BEST unpacking and packing team that you will ever come across in San Diego. They arrived on time. They introduced themselves with a handshake. Their military expertise and background gives them the keen eye and edge over all competitors. This is key when picking out a moving team. You want someone who understand how to unload and load trucks, how they operate as well as how to maximize your storage space. *As well as being careful with your items.* They work with you, not against and were very fast and efficient. Anthony understands your time table. If they have extra time, they will go the distance to make sure you are happy. Especially if you change your mind last minute.

My husband wanted to consolidate two storage units at the last minute and move some extra pieces. It was an after thought. Sometimes you don't know what is going to happen until you get in the spacAgain, I can't emphasize enough how professional they are and have that let's go attitude!

*Added bonus, they know how to move the big UHauls around in tight spaces and they know the logistics of how things should be packed in the truck as well as in storage.*

*They also moved furniture into the apartment that was extremely difficult. And we're very careful. Anthony's team is AMAZING.*

So when you hire Anthony and his team, you are hiring experts.

Anthony and his team were terrific. They showed up early, hustled for 4 hours up a steep driveway, and carried our piano in on straps with two people. Highly recommended!

Anthony and Ira were incredibly customer service oriented, patient, kind and made this moving process so much easier for me! They even threw in lots of laughter to try and keep me calm on a stressful day. I would absolutely use them again if only I wasn’t moving out of the area! Thanks guys!

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

We will contact you via text and email within 24 hours of booking your order to acknowledge receipt and introduce ourselves. We will also call you two business days prior to the move to discuss the details of your move and answer any questions and/or instructions you have for us. You are welcome to reach out to us as much as you like to!

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

We will be on time. To be early is to be on time and our guys aim to arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time to perform a walk through with you.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

We will send you an email within 24 hours after booking a move with the best recommendations we have learned to offer over the many years we have been moving professionally.

What types of moves have you handled?

We have not seen it all (not sure that's possible). But we have seen a lot: tiny moves, entire furnished apartments buildings completely changed out, junk removal, billionaires with high-end homes, professional athletes, homeless (hey, they have stuff too and sometimes, ya just gotta help somebody), office moves, cross-country, international...the list goes on.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

I started doing this because I wanted to get paid to work out. I'm still doing this because I find tremendous joy in serving people in a part of life that is often pretty stressful. It's very satisfying to tangibly see the work you've accomplished for someone else. Meeting new people, spending a lot of the day outside, seeing new parts of town are all pretty cool too :)

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our crew are background checked and carefully screened. A crew member is required to have a minimum of 40 hours of on-the-job training prior to working for our customers.
