From the Owner

Owner, UniMovers Des Moines
Dylan McLaren earned his degree in English from the University of Iowa in 2025, but his journey with UniMovers started even earlier. In 2024, he took on a role as a mover for the Iowa City moving company and quickly realized he loved the challenge and the sense of accomplishment that came with helping people through big life transitions. That passion led him to open his own moving company in Des Moines, IA. In 2025, Dylan returned home to take over UniMovers Des Moines, where he’s committed to making moving as easy and stress-free as possible. He thrives on the connections he builds with customers and the variety that each day brings. As a lifelong resident of Des Moines, Dylan takes pride in supporting his community. Whether you need local movers in Des Moines, IA for a college move, residential relocation, or temp labor services, he and his team at UniMovers Des Moines are ready to help—always with a friendly attitude and a strong work ethic.
