In the context below, a pastor could be referred to as a shepherd as well, though I do see and agree with your point.
The tasks of a Near Eastern shepherd were:
- to feed the sheep
- to watch for enemies trying to attack the sheep
- to defend the sheep from attackers
- to heal the wounded and sick sheep
- to find and save lost or trapped sheep

Absolutely. I think according to scripture that many of those things are all of our responsibilities also, example:
