• Tyler James (Blake Michael) is Chloe's brother and Avery's step-brother. He is popular and often uses his good looks to get what he wants. Tyler is very smart in math, but sometimes he is lazy in school. He can be carefree, but he always helps his family when they need him.
• Chloe James (Francesca Capaldi) is Tyler's younger sister and Avery's step-sister. A funny part of the show is that her family sometimes forgets to bring her home! Chloe loves candy and hides it around the house. She has a very active imagination.

Stan loves poodles but dislikes noisy pomeranians. He talks to Avery the most, showing she is his favorite. Stan has a special toy monkey named Robert. He is also sensitive about being called "just a dog."
