Wolf spiders. They are harmless and kinda fun. They do jump, but as you say their bite is harmless. If you have them in your house, a freaky thing to do is take a flashlight into your back yard at night and hold it at eye level. All the little twinkles you see reflecting back in the grass are usually these guys. My brother-in-law showed me this once. We went and hunted down the spots and yep, it was the spiders. The bigger the reflection, the bigger the wolf spider.
