Protagonists

• Blythe Baxter (voiced by Ashleigh Ball) is the main character of the series, an aspiring fashion artist and designer. She is very kind and compassionate and always assists others in need, either the pets or Mrs. Twombly, or her new friends Youngmee, Sue and Jasper, or maybe Whittany and Brittany Biskit. She has dark brown hair and light blue eyes, but she also wears "fashionable and unique" outfits. Blythe, along with her father, Roger Baxter, move to an apartment in Downtown City above a pet store called the Littlest Pet Shop. Soon after moving into the building, Blythe hits her head and discovers that she now can be able to talk and understand animals. She comes to enjoy working at the Littlest Pet Shop not long after she saves the store from going out of business. Though she has wanted to be on TV all her life, she is also extremely camera shy. Blythe is also a little closer to Russell, her best friend. Blythe's mother was Lauren Smith (nicknamed "Betty") before adopting the surname Baxter upon marrying Roger, and Lauren's former pet tortoise Speedy Shellberg claims that Betty also may have talked to animals, a fact that was confirmed by her father in the series finale. Throughout the series, several jokes were made about the expanse of the size of Blythe's head.
• Russell Ferguson (voiced by Sam Vincent) is a male orange European hedgehog with yellow-green eyes. He is the organizer of the group with a love of food. Though uptight, he maintains everyone in the shop, making sure everything's orderly. Though Russell heavily wishes to fit in more with his friends, unfortunately, his love for safety and maintenance and his friendship with six friends often spoils the other pets' enjoyment, which causes them to poke fun at him. In the episode "Penny for Your Laughs" it's revealed that he has an abnormal fear of marshmallows. He also has a fear of ghosts. He is considered Blythe's best friend; the show's running gag is that he is often mistaken for a porcupine.
• Sunil Nevla (voiced by Peter New) is a male blue banded mongoose with golden eyes and an Indian accent. He is very timid and fearful, but when faced with adventure, he will (though reluctantly) gather courage and bravery for his friends. He is a magician, who enjoys performing various magic tricks on his friends at the shop, but they mostly fail or rarely work when he needs to. Despite his timid appearance and personality, Sunil becomes aggressive at the thought of cobras (an allusion to mongooses' natural prey). He is Vinnie's best friend. Sunil is known to have entomophobia, causing him to panic every time he sees bugs, arachnids, and centipedes.

• Vincent Alfonso "Vinnie" Terrio (voiced by Kyle Rideout) is a male green gecko with purple eyes. Though slow at times, he is a talented dancer. Unfortunately, he is prone to wreaking havoc for others in the pet shop because of his natural clumsiness. In "Frenemies", he finds out he is a better dancer without his tail. His favorite series is Shake a Leg, a dance competition show. Sunil is his best friend.

• Pepper Mildred Clark (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) is a female gray and white striped skunk with light pink eyes. A self-proclaimed comedian, she loves making her friends laugh, usually through the use of puns and comical props. At times, however, she can be brash and inconsiderate towards others. Unlike natural skunks in the real world, Pepper's smells change depending on her mood, fragrant when pleasant, foul when terrible. She speaks in a thick Boston accent.
• Minka Mark (voiced by Kira Tozer) is a female pink spider monkey with light blue eyes, who is an artist. Energetic, flexible, and hyper, she is an expert in abstract art. However, she is constantly distracted by shiny objects, hanging out on the tire swing, or looking for something to eat. In "Dumb Dumbwaiter" it's revealed she is heavily claustrophobic. She often sits and rocks herself back and forth quietly saying to herself: "space monkey, I'm a space monkey...", when in a small space and unable to escape.
• Zoe Trent (speaking voice by Nicole Oliver and singing voice by Kylee Epp) is a female purple Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with light blue eyes, who is a singer. A born diva, she strives to achieve her goal of being the greatest entertainer, though she can sometimes be quite dramatic and snobbish and leader, and a little rude towards others, she cares for everyone very much and is very willing to go out of her comfort zone to be there for them. Her owners are the couple John (voiced by Peter New) and Clarissa Trent (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain). Zoe is the older sister of Gail Trent. In "Trading Places", it is revealed she has a crush on a dog named Digby and once fell in love with a street mime in Paris named Philippe.
• Penny Ling (speaking voice by Jocelyne Loewen and singing voice Laura Hastings) is a female white and indigo giant panda with grey eyes, who is a rhythmic gymnast with a talent for twirling ribbons. Despite being the peacekeeper of the group, her feelings are most sensitive and she is prone to get hurt by others, though when the job comes down to it, Penny Ling can be straightforward, and there are some times that she can be grumpy.
• Roger Baxter (voiced by Michael Kopsa) is Blythe's fun-loving, slightly clumsy father whose promotion to the rank of Captain in his airline takes them from their quiet hometown to Downtown City where countless adventures await. He has dark brown with some gray hair and blue eyes. Roger loves spending time with Blythe, listening to heavy metal, and supporting any of Blythe's talents and endeavors.

• Mrs. Twombly (voiced by Kathleen Barr) is the kind, off-beat owner of the Littlest Pet Shop pet store and day camp for pets. She has silver hair and turquoise eyes. Mrs. Twombly befriends Blythe and helps her to display and sell her first pet fashion collection. She has a love for animals and making them feel at home in Littlest Pet Shop. She also has a bizarre obsession for collecting doorknobs, occasionally compulsive cleaning, and some unique talents from her past, including inventing the martial art of kung-fu quilting.

Animals

• Buttercream Sundae (voiced by Cathy Weseluck) is a female yellow and brown Netherland Dwarf rabbit with dark green eyes, who is a dancer. A later addition to the group, Buttercream's owner is Youngmee Song's Aunt Christie, who owns the candy shop named Sweet Delights. She is very active and hyper, but also very mischievous: the other running gag is that she has a habit of saying overly sweet, hyper, and nonsensical statements (possibly from constant sugar hypes) and whenever she does, one of the pets will say catchphrase "What?" to her. Buttercream calmly responds with another "What?", twirls her ears with a twanging sound, and then relaxes before saying "Anywho." She shows up occasionally throughout the series.
• Cairo Autumn (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) is a sphynx cat with blue eyes, owned by Mona Autumn. She gives Blythe advice on how to deal with Mona and helps her gain Mona's approval.

The Biskits planned to keep them only for one day for the school's Pet Appreciation day and then ditch them at an animal shelter, but Blythe, Penny Ling, and Vinnie are determined to get the Biskits to keep them as permanent pets. They make a cameo appearance in "Fish Out of Water".
• Delilah Barnsley (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) is a cat from England with a British accent. She speaks in riddles that can be difficult to understand.

Delilah reappears in the season four episode "Pitch Purrfect".
• Digby (voiced by Peter New) is a light brown dog with light blue eyes that first appears in the episode "Trading Places", in which, it's revealed Zoe has a crush on him, has difficulty speaking to him directly and, fortunately, returns her affections. He is also friendly with Penny Ling.

When she and Zoe confront each other again in the episode "Eve of Destruction", their rivalry sparks up again and they try to use their fashion to determine who is the better model. However, they end up becoming friends in the process. She reappears in the season two episode, "To Paris With Zoe", trying to help Zoe focus on the competition.
