The quest for extension of holographic correspondence to the case of finite temperature naturally includes Kerr-AdS black holes and their field theory duals. In this paper we study the holography by probing the correspondence with pulsating strings. The case we consider is pulsating strings in the five-dimensional Kerr-AdS space time. First we find particular pulsating string solutions and then semi-classically quantize the theory. For the string with large values of energy, we use the Bohr-Sommerfeld analysis to find the energy of the string as a function of a large quantum number. We obtain the wave function of the problem and thoroughly study the corrections to the energy, which by duality are supposed to give anomalous dimensions of certain operators in the dual gauge theory. The interpretation of results from holographic point of view is not straightforward since the dual theory is at finite temperature. Nevertheless, near or at conformal point the expressions can be thought of as the dispersion relations of stationary states.
