Each year, we get to help thousands of our friends and neighbors with the relocation into their new homes. It’s a responsibility from which we take a lot of joy: we love being Iowa’s most trusted moving day partner.
Blue Cow Moving reviews give you a real look at what customers experience when they trust us with their move. Whether it's an apartment in Des Moines or a house in Ankeny, families across Iowa rely on our crew to handle life’s big transitions with care.
Some customers choose full-service packing. Others need just a couple of movers and a truck. Either way, the reviews speak volumes—and consistently highlight our team's professionalism, punctuality, and attention to detail.
What Customers Say About Our Team
We believe every move deserves our full focus. That’s why our crew shows up on time, ready to get the job done. From one-bedroom apartments to large homes, we treat each move with the same level of care and respect.
Many Blue Cow Moving reviews mention our friendly, respectful team. Customers often describe their experience as smooth and stress-free. That consistency is no accident—it’s built into how we train and operate.
Clear Communication Every Step of the Way
Customers often mention how easy we are to reach. We confirm every appointment, send reminders, and stay in touch throughout the process. Even with last-minute bookings, we do everything we can to keep things moving without surprises.
Trained In-House, Never Subcontracted
Our movers are trained by us—and only us. We never subcontract. That means you’ll see familiar faces and receive consistent service. Many reviews even mention specific team members by name, which says a lot about the personal care we provide.
Locally Owned and Iowa Proud
Blue Cow is proudly local. Our team lives in the same Iowa neighborhoods we serve, including Ankeny, Waukee, and Urbandale. That local connection makes us more accountable—and more motivated to deliver great results.
Every piece of honest feedback helps us improve. We read every review carefully and use them to guide team training and service updates.
We had an outstanding experience with our Blue Cow Movers! Our crew, Noah, Landen, and Michah, were professional, hardworking, and incredibly efficient from start to finish. They worked well as a team and never slowed down, even on a HOT summer day! Moving is such a stressful thing, but these guys made it easier. They were friendly and very respectful and made sure everything was where we wanted it to go. I would highly recommend Blue Cow Moving & Storage and we would absolutely use them again.
We hired Blue Cow Moving for a larger item move encompassing three stories and all stairs. All encounters from start to finish- the staff was attentive, respectful, kind, courteous and thoughtful.They asked questions to make sure the vision of placement for basement storage of some items were accommodated, allowing the ability to access those items if need be. They are a powerhouse and work efficiently!!! The entire process was so organized and a total success! A highly recommended company!
I had an awesome experience with Blue Cow! They did a terrific job all around with communication, timeliness and taking extreme care with my furniture and home. I will definitely be recommending them to others!
Blue Cow did a great job with our local move!!! They were professional and the 4 of them worked well together. They were punctual, very careful moving items, covered furniture, and placed item were we requested (not just randomly in the room). Would definitely recommend and would use them again.
The team of guys they sent me did an amazing job helping me move on 7/9. They were professional, courteous, and very respectful with all my belongings. And they did not damage or scuff a single thing. Thank you BlueCow
The guys showed up on time, made sure they were moving everything I needed and setup completely. Very professional and used blankets and carpet runners to keep everything clean. I can’t recommend these guys enough.
James and Landon were amazing! Quick, efficient and so friendly. They communicated every step of the way and made sure everything was in its proper place. All furniture was wrapped and handled with care! Would recommended them again and again and will be using them for future moves.
Blue Cow Movers were fantastic. They were quick, polite, respectful and helped us out so much. I would really recommend them! We were so happy with the experience.
We would highly recommend moving with blue cow. The guys were fab! There were alot of moving parts - long travel from Ankeny to Tiffin, moving furniture a multitude of places.They were hardworking, kind, very accommodating and delivered big time! We couldn't have had a better experience! Best moving experience ever! And we have moved a lot! Thanks guys!
Carter Josiah and Mason did a fantastic job moving our things into a Unit. They for more than I thought possible!! And they all worked so efficiently. Made it look easy. Highly recommend!! We will have them back! Thanks again guys!
It's always tough to know what you're going to get with a moving team. This experience was incredible from start to finish. These guys worked hard all day long in 95 degree heat. They were cheerful and clearly knew what they were doing. I was extremely impressed and would highly recommend.
The young gentlemen that did our moving were WONDERFUL!! They were genuinely friendly, professional and careful. Even though we only needed a piano moved, they treated the assignment like it was the most important one of their day. Thank you for sending such good men to help us.
Wyatt and Noah were top notch. Hard working, polite and thorough. Remained professional and dedicated to getting the job done despite the excessive heat. They did a great job and would definitely use again.
The team that helped with our move was amazing! They were efficient, professional, and polite. They did such a good job wrapping and protecting our items as well as laying down protection for our flooring as they were moving. They took apart all of our furniture and put it all back together in our new home exactly where we wanted it. I highly recommend their services!
Awesome movers! Very professional and polite. They got the job done quickly/efficiently. Everything was safely wrapped and carefully transported. These movers are a great value and no hidden fees. Thank you for making our move less stressful! Can’t say enough good things!!!!
Great!Blue Cow communicated frequently and was very helpful. Prices were great. The final bill was less than the estimate. The two men who did the actual packing were very efficient and polite.
Caleb and David were fantastic they made sure that all my furniture were wrapped and handled with good care. Both were friendly ,professional and worked hard. This is my first time with Blue Cow and I would recommend them to anyone who are in the process of moving. Thank you again Caleb and David with (Blue Cow)
Josiah and Cade were professional and continuously asked questions. Moving can be stressful and they kept checking in making sure they got everything. They wrapped the furniture and it arrived undamaged. It was more than worth the investment. Next time what I would do differently, is rent their shipping containers. I bought my own because I personally wanted some, but don't need as many as I purchased. Would be worth having them drop off the containers and taking them away when done. Logan was very thorough while booking the move, checking in before moving day, and calling the day of moving to check on satisfaction. Great experience working with Blue Cow.....and I love cows....never saw a blue one though.
Daniel and Mike was wonderful. They worked very hard and was so careful with all the furniture. Glad they will be returning to move us back in. Good job guys!!
This company and their employees are amazing! Fast and friendly and very courteous, they will go above and beyond for you. I have used them twice and would highly recommend them.
Blue Cow was terrific to work with when planning my move! They're flexible when unexpected things happen, and made it a stress free experience. The movers were friendly and respectful. I 100% recommend them, and I'd happily use their services again if needed.
