He’s especially great with dogs who require oral medications, making sure they get what they need without any stress. Jordan also has the perfect home for dogs—cozy, welcoming, and totally pet-friendly! Pups are allowed on the couch and even in his bed, so they’ll feel right at home. Plus, his dog, Popeye, is the best! He gets along with most dogs and loves having a buddy to hang out with. On top of that, Jordan lives near lots of open fields where dogs can run and play, and he absolutely loves going on long walks. Whether your pup enjoys lounging or adventuring, they’ll have the best time with him. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Jordan is the perfect choice!”
