And that just flies around at earth? I suppose it interacts with gravity, so it might get stuck here.

Around Earth and all over the galaxy. It is necessary to have a local density of dark matter to explain the cosmological observations. It can be accreted in massive objects (through gravitational forces), but the Earth is probably too light to yield any observable effect. However, the story is different with the Sun. See for instance here for more information on how physicists could use that to probe dark matter.
