Why we built NuvaPaws
Because “pets allowed” should mean your pet. Millions of U.S. renters share their homes with pit bull–type dogs, Rottweilers, Shepherds, Huskies and other breeds that still get turned away at the leasing desk — often after the application fee is paid.
One verified answer for every renter with a dog
NuvaPaws is an independent directory of apartment communities that accept all breeds. We confirm each policy with the property, publish the fees, and show the date — then we keep checking. We started with the 16 U.S. cities where renters and new apartments are growing fastest, and we add markets every month.
We make money from clearly labeled advertising and partnerships — never from your rent, your data, or your application.
NuvaPaws Team
A small, remote team of researchers and renters who have personally been told “sorry, not that breed.” We verify listings, write the guides, and answer every email at nuvapaws@nuvapaws.com.
Verified, dated, re-checked
Every policy is confirmed in writing and carries the date. Older than 6 months? The badge says so.
Independent
Paid placements are labeled and never skip verification. Advertisers don't write our guides.
Fair Housing
We support equal housing opportunity and do not take part in tenant selection. Our notice.
