As the other answers have said, there is dark matter expected near the Earth, it's just at a very low density. There have been a number of experiments looking for some signature of weak dark matter interactions near the Earth. One of these, DAMA, has claimed a detection of an annually varying signal which would be consistent with the Earth moving with and against an ambient medium of dark matter over the course of a year. However, no other experiments have been able to verify this detection.
