It’s probably a Red-backed Jumping Spider, Phidippus johnsoni. They are not dangerous to people. They chase motion like a kitten. You can try a laser pointer to see if it chases the dot. It might chase a cursor on a screen too. They hunt by chasing small moving things and jumping on them, instead of waiting in a web. Happy New Year!
