A pet watering device for automatically providing water to a pet, such as a dog, from a source of water under pressure. The pet watering device includes a water supply conduit having a first end which is operably connected to a faucet and a second end which is disposed remote from the faucet to allow a discharge of the water therefrom. A valve is in the water supply conduit for being opened to allow the water to flow through the water supply conduit and closed to prevent the flow of the water therethrough. The water supply conduit includes a mounting element for mounting the second end at a selected position for allowing the pet to drink the water therefrom. A sensor is for sensing the presence of the pet near the second end of the water supply conduit. The sensor is operably connected to the valve to cause the valve to be opened after the pet is sensed moving near the second end and to be closed after the pet is no longer being sensed near the second end. The water supply conduit and the second end thereof are configured to facilitate the flow of water therethrough at a flow rate which will allow the pet to drink the water without being frightened thereby.
