Education: Bachelor’s of Science in Dairy Science, Virginia Tech, 1991
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech, 1999
Dr. Nancy Powel, owner of Maryland Mobile Veterinary Clinic, is a 1999 graduate of the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech. She worked as an associate veterinarian at a small animal and bovine veterinary practice until 2006, when she had the opportunity to take her love of animals on the road with the purchase of Maryland Mobile Veterinary Clinic from Dr. Rosilend Lawson, who founded the practice in 1985.
As a veterinary practitioner, Dr. Powel’s top priority is to provide quality care to her patients in a way that meshes with the goals of her clients. Equally important to Dr. Powel are the bonds she creates with both her patients and their owners, helping to strengthen the bonds we have with our pets.
She resides outside of Uniontown with her feisty orange cat Colonel Mustard. He patrols the property with the help of Professor Plum, a semi-feral cat who is slowly becoming tamed! After a temporary lapse in her sanity, Dr. Nancy welcomed Higgins, a German Shorthaired Pointer pup into her life in November 2023. Dr. Powel enjoys her family and friends, craft brews, and spending time outdoors and on the farm. Having been raised on a dairy farm, Dr. Powel’s first love was cattle. Although her career has shifted from bovines to companion animals, she still enjoys working with cattle; attending dairy cattle shows and events, and being a proponent for the industry. She can also be found cheering on the Hokies, Ravens, and Orioles!
Education: University of Wisconsin
Dr Ann grew up in southern Wisconsin, the daughter of a veterinarian. Two years after graduation from vet school, she moved to Vilseck, Germany, to care for pets owned by US military families.
Returning to the US in 2002, she married fellow veterinarian, Charlie Marchand. They purchased a home in Carroll county in 2006, where they live with their 3 naughty cats.
Dr Ann also uses acupuncture to improve patients’ lives. It is especially helpful in arthritis and neurological cases.
In her spare time, Dr Ann enjoys knitting socks, baking cookies, and traveling.
Dr. Jennifer Starlings is a 2006 graduate of the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. During her career Dr. Jen has especially enjoyed client education and sees her role as an animal advocate to ensure that the pets in her care have the best quality of life possible. She has a particular knack for feline handling and medicine and enjoys working with even the spiciest of kitties.
Dr. Jen's love of cats led to her founding her own 501(c)(3) rescue called What's One More Animal Sanctuary a few years ago. Much of her free time is spent caring for these cats and dogs. She also loves gardening, flower arranging, cooking, mixology, and photography.
