Energetic and responsible dog lover
Pet care experience
Like (most) dogs, I love being outside, enjoying long walks and runs in nature and the city. As long as I've eaten my daily meal, I'm ready for anything, preferably involving a tennis ball. ;) In my hometown in Alaska, I was well-known among local dog owners as a preferred choice for pet care. I am responsible, enthusiastic, and I love engaging and connecting with pets. I have experience caring for dogs of all personalities, from rigid to flexible schedules, mellow demeanors, and athletic powerhouses. I have some professional experience housesitting for pets, and I lived with a dog for a year here in Portland. I treat all animals with respect, and I handle discipline as an opportunity to encourage positive behavior in the dog. Although humans and dogs can't communicate directly, there is always a deeper level of unspoken understanding between pet and caregiver, and I mean to cultivate that relationship through kindness while earning the dog's respect.
Reviews
Jordan has a very calming and loving disposition. She cared for my two month golden doodle with attentiveness. From taking her on walks to brushing her hair to ensuring she has adequate food and water. I’m excited to have found her on this site.
For years, Jordan has been our "go to" gal when we needed someone to walk and care for our large husky-mix, Karragh. Jordan is one of a very few we trust with our high energy, somewhat quirky (and not always obedient) dog. She has just the right mix of athleticism, strength, and that certain dog-whispering calmness to manage a dog that never wants to stop! We have found Jordan to be ultra reliable, intuitive, timely, and always trust-worthy. We have relied on Jordan for extended periods when we traveled, knowing that she would maintain Karragh's daily routine, adjust to and make appropriate on-the-fly decisions when necessary, and keep us up to date on any important details. Our dog, and our home were safe and well cared for... Jordan is a runner and a cyclist and can definitely keep up with even the most active of dogs.!
Jordan has a real affinity for dogs. Being around dogs gives her joy, and she wants the dogs entrusted to her care to feel the same way. She is committed to giving dogs the exercise they need to be happy and healthy. Moreover, she is extremely conscientious, dedicated to keeping her word and fully providing the service the pet owner is expecting.

Information Jordan M. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences -- I love all dogs! I would love to know about any triggers your pet has, or things they are not particularly good at, i.e tends to chase cars, dislikes people in sweatshirts, easily startled, etc., so I can be best prepared to care for your dog.
A typical day
Besides long walks in Tryon Creek park, I also love running with dogs! Afterwards, we can take a breather in the grass while your pet enjoys a well-earned belly rub.
