Plot

Esme & Roy follows a young girl named Esme and her best monster friend, Roy, the most in-demand "monster sitters" (like babysitters, but they look after monsters) in Monsterdale, a town populated mostly by colorful monsters. The duo set out to solve big problems by playing and helping out the young monsters with their problems.^[11]

Characters

Main

Esmeralda "Esme" (voiced by Millie Davis) is a 9-year-old African-American girl and a monster sitter, and she has a skill for inventing activities to fix the monsters' problems, with the help of the MonsterCase, a suitcase full of fun and games that encourages the monsters to play their problems away and turns into a motorized scooter when taking Esme and Roy to where their monstersitting service is needed. Esme only went through a Monster Sitter Meltdown in "Party Time", but like what she does for the little monsters she and Roy watch, Roy helps her feel better by singing the "Belly Breathing" song, which is normally sung by Esme. In "Stroller Derby", it's revealed that Esme goes to a school that's different from the one the little monsters go to.
Roy (voiced by Patrick McKenna) is Esme's best friend and a yellow monster. He is a lovable silly monster who knows everything about monsters with his Monster Fact book. He loves to eat meatballs. Roy went through a Monster Sitter Meltdown in 3 episodes which they are: "Two Can Play That Game", "Sing Out, Roy", & "Training Day", but Esme, along with the little monsters, helped him feel better by singing the "Belly Breathing" song, which is normally sung by Esme doing it solo. But, Esme did help him feel better by singing the "Belly Breathing" song solo in two episodes only.
Dumpling is Esme and Roy's pet monster. She can roll herself up into a ball and loves to dance.
Hugo Ooga (voiced by Shayle Simons) is a theatrical 4-year-old^[12] winged monster. He loves to be the star of the show and creates his own spotlight by clapping his hands.
Fig Ooga (voiced by Elle Simon) is Hugo's 1-year-old^[13] baby sister. Unlike her brother, she has no wings. While small, she has super strength and loves to pick up Roy to demonstrate it. She shrinks if she smells a Sludgeflower.
Tillie Plink (voiced by Abigail Oliver) is an active 3-year-old^[14] monster with pink fur, blue eyes, and red hair tied into pigtails with a pair of blue hairbows. She has a need for speed and loves cars and playing rough-and-tumble games and she spins a lot really fast like a tornado when she's sad, for fun, or for dancing. Sometimes, she refers to herself in third-person, much like Elmo from Sesame Street.
Snugs Muzzywump (voiced by Benjamin Hum) is an adorable 3-year-old^[15] monster who loves to hug, cuddle and snuggle with people and monsters alike. He puffs up when he gets scared of thunder, but is easily able to be relaxed. He has a baby brother named Fuzzy.
Simon Swoozle (voiced by Jacob Soley) is a 8-year-old^[16] six-tentacled green monster with yellow hair, brown eyes and blue glasses. He loves enforcing routine and order. He has a big heart, is very artistic, so cute, and he is very smart.
Sid Hoozlewoo (voiced by Christian Corrao) & Lucy Hoozlewoo (voiced by Hattie Kragten) appear in "Imitation Frustration", "Don't Bug Me", & "Warm and Fuzzy Day" (though Sid has appeared in "A Mighty Shy Guy"). They can change colors, copy what they do and bounce around on their springy tails.
Frank (voiced by Justin Paul Kelly) & Franny Bleedeerblop (voiced by Lilly Bartlam) appear in "Two Can Play That Game". They are twin dragon-like monsters.
Mom and Dad: Esme's parents are, so far, only glimpsed during the opening theme of the show. They live in the house next to the garage where Esme and Roy usually hang out when they're not on their monstersitting duties and are shown waving goodbye to Esme and Roy as they set off to where they're needed. Aside from Esme, they appear to be the only human residents of Monsterdale.

Recurring

Mr. Plink (voiced by Zachary Bennett) is Tillie's dad.
Grammy Swoozle (voiced by Jayne Eastwood) is Simon's grandma.
Fuzzy Muzzywump (voiced by Bryn McAuley) is Snugs' baby brother.

Norm (voiced by Patrick McKenna) appears in "Supermarket Match". He is a blue monster with tentacles, blue hair, and green eyes and speaks like a teenager. He appears to be a monster of all trades, as he has a different job in every episode.
