That seems pretty unambiguous to me. You don't have the file
sshd.service where systemd can find it.

Debian (not rasbian) seems to put sshd into place at installation time.
charles@hawk:~$ locate sshd.service
/etc/systemd/system/sshd.service
/var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-helper-enabled/sshd.service
charles@hawk:~$
The second one has to be there. The first is optional and overrides the
second.
Oddly enough, the sshd package does not provide sshd.service as a file
at all, but may create it as part of the installation process. It does
provide ssh.service. This leads me to wonder if something is not right
with the rasbian package.
Do you have both the server and the client installed? On Debian, you
need openssh-client and openssh-server.
