You can use the word 'underfoot.' It literally means under your feet, but it is also used for a situation just as you described, someone/something that is a constant presence/bother at your feet level.
I couldn't get a thing done today because the kids were always underfoot.
That cat is always underfoot; I nearly tripped over him today!

Thanks,
Yes, but for those collection of naughty actions, don't you use any term?
For example; can I use "roughhousing " for these playful actions, too? :)

Yes, the word is called roughhousing. That is used for a bit more aggressive behavior that's still playful. Like wrestling between friends.

Yes, sorry it was a typo and auto-correction's fault! ☺️
Thanks.
I thought maybe there is a special term for that playing, too. ( like "roughhousing " for playful wrestling among some kids /friends) :)
