In Westeros it is possible for a person of noble birth or an existing knight to name someone a night even if they're not a noble themselves. I don't know if Jon would have been allowed to squire for anyone, but he could have been made a knight and his skills certainly lend themselves to it. At least in the short stories from long before the GOT timeline, they referred to that sort of fighter as a 'hedgeknight'.

It's not totally clear how that works though... Davos and Gendry are both knighted and they are baseborn, but they're also both working for leaders who are rebelling against the official government of King Joffrey. So it's possible, but it's not totally evident what the rules are. Davos is knighted by Stannis, who has asserted that he's now the rightful King. The King can basically do what he wants in Westeros, but that doesn't mean Davos would be recognized as a knight or a lord by anyone else. Gendry isn't knighted by a King (or a knight, even, just a nobleman), but knighted into a group of outlaws, so who knows how legal his knighthood is. There aren't a lot of other examples, aside from what you mentioned (the Dunk and Egg stories), which take place about a hundred years before ASOIAF, and so might have different rules.
