When I enlarged the photo, it is certainly NOT a flea, but it could be a Flea Beetle or a type of Springtail. Both are very tiny and jump. Neither one bite humans or pets. Flea Beetles are a garden/houseplant pest, that like to chew holes in the plant leaves. Springtails like high moisture areas and feed on mold, fungi and other decaying matter. A good all-purpose household bug spray should kill them off after a thorough vacuuming of the house. Just remember to empty the dirt cup or bag outside to prevent escapees in the house. Good luck.
