"Your pets are your world. In our combined 45yrs in law enforcement with the Metropolitan Police in London, we learned that protecting that world starts with knowing exactly who you let into it.
We founded the Rialto group of businesses to bring a rigorous, police-standard of vetting to pet care, with the ambition of acquiring multiple pet businesses throughout Arizona. home maintenance, and senior care across the Valley. To ensure this vetting runs through the whole business, from service provider to back-end integrity, Tony has become licensed in broker services for residential, commercial property and business sales, and all related financial and legal services.
We don't just hire; we investigate, so you can have absolute peace of mind with the services we offer."

The 45-Year Law Enforcement Standard
In an era of "app-based" gig workers, the person entering your home or caring for your pets is often a stranger with a surface-level screening. Across all of our services we apply the Rialto Standard — a proprietary vetting process developed from a combined 45 years police experience.
✓ Deep Level Investigation: We use a number of sources to ensure character, history and a professional work ethic
✓ Professional Accountability: Our team members agree with our client-centered philosophy and agree to uphold the highest level of service
✓ The Hero Discount: We proudly offer preferred rates to First Responders and Military across the Valley
✓ Continuous Monitoring: Vetting isn't a one-time event. We maintain a culture of ongoing integrity and performance audits based on client feedback

"Our mission is to apply the discipline of 45 years of combined law enforcement experience to protect the homes, families, and business assets of our community. Through the Rialto Standard, Tony and Liza Bacon provide a single, trusted source for professionally vetted services — ensuring every interaction is governed by integrity, precision, and an unwavering commitment to your peace of mind"
