Hi! I think this might be a spider in the genus Trachelas. They are outdoor spiders that don’t build webs and don’t generally live in close contact with humans, but will wander into houses in the autumn as they seek shelter from the cold. However, they will not find very much suitable food indoors, and most will likely starve (or leave) by December.
