I was playing a sneak style character with companion and liked that, but in one battle with a dragon my companion died. Can I hire a new companion in Skyrim? If yes, then where to hire them?

You can find them in several Inns and some are quest-related. Here is a incomplete list of several followers.
Additionally you can buy a wardog for 500 gold in front of the stables in Markarth who is independent of a human follower (you can use both).

+! didn't know the wardog was separate from your follower, nice!– AlexCommented Jan 6, 2012 at 11:49
Companions are people you work with usually, or sometimes affected to your service.
For example, Lydia is affected to you if you became Thane of Whiterun. There is a mage that will accept to follow you in the Winterhold college if you help her.
I guess there is more, but I don't know all of them.
Just go to another companion and say follow me. But there's a bug that they say you already have a follower 'cause you didn't dismiss it but he\she died. Bug fix is for Farkas quest after companions quest line.
