Borreguero??
Se dice pastor, y pastora, aunque no conozco a ninguna mujer que se dedique al pastoreo (sheepherding)

It is a masculine noun so it is El borreguero and La borreguero.

Since it is a noun you can say either el borreguero or la borreguera (although this is not a traditional woman's job).

Pootsie, Barney is a native speaker of Spanish, so I'd consider his comment
Martha is also a native speaker of Spanish.
However, Ken is right about many occupations not having a feminine version.
and by the way ...
