How Our Senior Moving Services Work
It all starts when you contact us for your free moving estimate.
We start with a one-on-one conversation to understand your needs, concerns and expectations. Whether it’s timelines, health related accommodations or sentimental items—we listen.
Based on your needs we develop a detailed plan that fits your schedule, budget and comfort level. We’ll guide you through every stage of the move step by step.
Our trained senior movers will handle everything—carefully packing, transporting and unpacking your belongings. We’ll make sure every item, especially fragile or sentimental ones, is handled with care.
Once you’re in your new home we’ll help place furniture, set up key areas and make sure you’re fully settled and comfortable.

Senior Movers Challenges
Moving at any age can be overwhelming—but for seniors it often involves added emotional and logistical hurdles:
- Downsizing a lifetime of belongings
- Leaving a long time home
- Coping with mobility or health challenges
- Coordinating with family from a distance
That’s why senior movers in Ottawa need more than just strength—they need compassion, patience and planning.
At Cassidy’s we’ve built our service model around those values.

Experienced Ottawa Movers Make the Difference
Cassidy’s is one of the oldest moving companies in Ottawa. Founded in 1908, you could definitely say that experience has taught us a lot.
Primarily, it has taught us that packing and moving carefully are skills. We hire honest, bondable workers who care about doing a good job, and we give them training on everything from packing glassware to loading trucks properly.
Our core team of career movers takes personal satisfaction in having everything arrive safely. Many of our movers have been with us for 10 years, 15 years, or even longer.

How to Choose the Best Local Moving Company in Ottawa
Are They Industry Affiliated?
Before you make that first call or hit “Contact Us,” gather basic info on your mover-to-be. Check whether they’re certified with the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM). Cassidy’s is!
Membership in the Canadian Chamber of Commerce is another clue you’re dealing with a trustworthy business.
Check With The Better Business Bureau
Check that the moving company is with the Better Business Bureau. You want a mover that the BBB rates A+, not F! The Bureau publishes consumer complaints, together with actions the moving company has taken to resolve them.
Check Their Reviews
Some of the best reviews are word-of-mouth recommendations from family and friends. When browsing online, check unbiased sources like Google, Facebook, and Canada’s own HomeStars. Read enough reviews to get an overall picture of the mover’s performance.
If past customers mention problems, make sure satisfactory solutions were provided. Alternatively, do clients describe features or services they especially liked?
For example, here’s one of Cassidy’s Google Reviews following a local Ottawa move:
Had a great experience with Cassidy’s. We were moving from a 3-bedroom townhouse for a local move.
I really appreciated that 3 guys showed up for the move instead of only 2 that many standard moving companies provide. This helped to facilitate a smoother (and much faster!) move. They were quick, efficient, and professional. You could tell they definitely had a good system. Everything was handled with care, and all of our belongings were well taken care of.
On the customer service side, their representative at the office responded to all my email inquiries and questions beforehand to ease any concerns or worries we had. I would most definitely recommend this company to anyone who is moving.
Protect Yourself From Rogue Movers
Rogue moving companies are a real threat. The Canadian Association of Movers and the Better Business Bureau receive thousands of complaints from folks who’ve been fleeced by these scammers every year.
Fortunately, you can protect yourself against rogue movers. Look out for red flags like:
- Estimates given over the phone
- Prices substantially below market rate
- No written contract — or a blank one!
- No brick-and-mortar address on their website
- No GST number or proof of workers’ comp
- Unmarked moving trucks
