1. A water supplier for a pet, comprising:
a water tub storing water;
a pump installed in the water tub;
a water supply pipe delivering water discharged from the pump;
a water supply plate disposed over the water tub and having a top on which water supplied from the water supply pipe flows;
a water supply place rotor that rotates the water supply plate at a lower side of the water supply plate;
a sensor installed at a lower portion of the water tub; a gyro sensor that senses an inclination of the water tub; and
a controller that compares a value sensed by the sensor with a predetermined setting value and manages the water suppler plate rotor to compensate for the inclination of the water tub detected by the gyro sensor to maintain a horizontal inclination of the water supply plate.
