    I have seen several people state that it works fine(in Apple forum) if you have the latest update. Also Parallels site states that it does. I have not personally tested it.

    Parallels Desktop 8 will run on OS X Mavericks (as the host), but Mavericks will not run (aka as a guest OS) on Parallels Desktop 8. This mainly impacts developer-types who want to run Mavericks as a test environment.

    You can run Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac on OS X Mavericks and shouldn’t have issues, but you won’t have the benefit of all the new feature integration (of Mavericks into Windows programs), unless you upgrade to Parallels Desktop 9
