Yes. But normally they cannot live on humans for long so they bite then jump off.
Also, there really isn't much of a difference between dog fleas and cat fleas. They're the same thing.
and also even if u try to kill them like if u pinch them, that won't work! u have to drown them in water

∙ 6y agoDog or cat fleas can live in human hair and feed on the scalp, but less easily on skin. However, the eggs can hide in clothing and carpeting / rugs and when eggs hatch, they can feed on any person who is in the clothing or lying on the carpet. Eggs can hatch from cement floors in basements or garages and jump to the skin of any person who walks there.

∙ 14y agoYes they can, I am pretty sure sense humans also have hair all over their body and the fleas could probably live in your hair... or on our head hair like lice. :) hope I helped.
