In 2010, P&R published Timothy Witmer’s The Shepherd Leader: Achieving Effective Shepherding in Your Church.
He’s written a corresponding volume for husbands and fathers:
Timothy Z. Witmer. The Shepherd Leader at Home: Knowing, Leading, Protecting, and Providing for Your Family. Wheaton: Crossway, 2012.
Witmer shares practical advice for husbands and fathers using the shepherd-model as the governing metaphor. It’s a good reminder and motivator.

Is there any verse that likens a father/husband to a shepherd, as opposed to any other occupation?

One doesn’t come to mind offhand.
