In this paper, we prove that a Sasakian pseudo-metric manifold which admits an η−Ricci soliton is an η−Einstein manifold, and if the potential vector field of the η−Ricci soliton is not a Killing vector field then the manifold is D−homothetically fixed, and the vector field leaves the structure tensor field invariant. Next, we prove that a K−contact pseudo-metric manifold with a gradient η−Ricci soliton metric is η−Einstein. Moreover, we study contact pseudo-metric manifolds admitting an η−Ricci soliton with a potential vector field point wise colinear with the Reeb vector field. Finally, we study gradient η−Ricci solitons on (κ, µ)-contact pseudo-metric manifolds.
