Who we are
Meet Allen and Daisy Phillips, owners of Meet Me at the Spot!
MMATS is a family-owned pet care business built from faith, hard work, and a deep love for animals.
What began as a small pet-sitting side hustle in 2018 quickly grew into something much bigger. After years of dedication—and paying off $84,000 in consumer debt in 35 months—our family realized this passion wasn’t meant to stay a side hustle.
In 2024, Daisy stepped away from her corporate career to pursue Meet Me at the Spot full-time.
Owned and operated by Allen and Daisy Phillips, we proudly serve Tyler and surrounding communities, treating every pet like family.
We are incredibly grateful to the clients who trust us with their fur babies and allow us to do what we love every day.
At Meet Me at the Spot, where pets feel loved
Marshall
Daisy’s beloved Dalmatian and inspiration behind Meet Me at the Spot!
Marshall was born an old man — easy-going, laid-back, and as sweet as they come. He’s the calm presence around OUR SPOT, always happy to just hang out and make everyone feel at home.
Fun fact: Marshall is a liver Dalmatian, which means his spots are brown and white instead of black.
Marshall has truly been the success behind MMATS, matching energy levels and welcoming furry pals over the years.
He’s also loved and cared for every Phillips kid since the beginning. He’s the goodest boy.
Our Staff
Meet Jenna Stephens!
Jenna Stephens is East Texas-raised and a lifelong animal lover. From working with local animal shelters to pet sitting, she’s turned her love for animals into work she truly enjoys.
She is a dog and horse enthusiast with a soft spot for strong personalities. Jenna has a passion for getting to know each pet’s unique personality and tailoring her care to keep them comfortable, active, and happy.
She shares her home with her husband Daniel, three dogs, and an orange cat, so she’s no stranger to big energy, small attitudes, and everything in between.
When she’s not caring for pets, Jenna also happens to be a serious foodie, always cooking, baking, and mentally reverse-engineering every good meal she tastes.
