Characters
Main characters
- Scaredy (voiced by Terry McGurrin) - A smart, germophobic, and occasionally shy squirrel who works as a stacker at a grocery store called Stash 'n Hoard and is fond of cleaning.
- Dave (voiced by Jonathan Gould) - Scaredy's best friend who is a blue skunk.
- Nestor (voiced by Patrick McKenna) - Nestor is a yellow canary who is the manager of Stash 'n Hoard. He is also Scaredy's boss and one of his enemies.
- Momma (voiced by Jayne Eastwood) - A grouchy pastel pink bird who owns the Stash n' Hoard, and who is Nestor's mother. Momma makes surprise appearances at any time, and is fond of firing people.
- Paddy (voiced by David Berni) - A gray, egotistical ferret who is always making trouble for Scaredy.
- Richard - Richard is Scaredy's inanimate pet plant. Richard seems to be slightly sadistic as seen when he forces Scaredy to wear the "Hat of Pain".
- Sally (voiced by Linda Kash) - A turquoise trout who is deeply in love with Scaredy. Sally has lots of confidence and she thinks she and Scaredy could be a good couple.
- Mildred (voiced by Jamie Watson) - A frog who works at the Stash n' Hoard and seems to be Nestor's only friend. She is always seen drinking a bottle of soda and is always burping.
- Buck (voiced by David Berni) - A beaver who works at the Stash n' Hoard. He is friends with Scaredy and Dave.
- Hatton (voiced by Dwayne Hill) - A donkey who works at the Stash n' Hoard. He is friends with Buck, Scaredy and Dave.
Recurring and minor characters
- Millie (voiced by Laurie Elliott) - A strange cow that lives in Balsa City. Often seen dancing. She also licks Scaredy in his sleep.
- Philmore (voiced by Terry McGurrin) - An excited, nervous, fast-talking peacock that frequents the Stash n' Hoard.
