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
Our Staff
Meet Allison Carter!
Allison was born and raised in Tyler. She’s been surrounded by dogs her whole life and can’t imagine living life without them. Her favorite breed is the loyal German Shepherd, even though she has never owned one. With six years of experience as a preschool teacher, Allison brings patience, care, and a big heart to everything she does.
Allison has served and fostered through the SPCA, where her own pup, Libby, became a beloved “foster fail.”
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.
