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!

Dr. Jennifer Starlings is a 2006 graduate of the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine.

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.

Upon graduation she completed a yearlong rotating internship at an emergency and specialty practice in Bowie, Maryland. Since then, she has focused on companion animal primary care. She has a special interest in surgery, dentistry and diagnostic ultrasound. She loves caring for animals, especially her two dogs and cats.
In her spare time, she enjoys time with her family, horseback riding, gardening and watching Ravens football.

Dr. Lynn earned her undergraduate degree in Animal Science from the University of Maryland College Park and her doctorate from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012. Other than her obsession with hounds, Dr. Lynn is passionate about surgery, anesthesia, and pain management.
