We prove the parabolic boundary Harnack inequality in parabolic flat Lipschitz domains by blow-up techniques, allowing for the first time a non-zero right-hand side. Our method allows us to treat solutions to equations driven by non-divergence form operators with bounded measurable coefficients, and a right-hand side $f \in L^q$ for $q > n+2$. In the case of the heat equation, we also show the optimal $C^{ 1-\varepsilon}$ regularity of the quotient. As a corollary, we obtain a new way to prove that flat Lipschitz free boundaries are $C^{ 1,\alpha}$ in the parabolic obstacle problem and in the parabolic Signorini problem.
