There are a bunch of people that will follow you as part of a quest (that you can use if you leave the quest area without finishing it), listed as Quest Followers on the wiki at http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Followers
Through use of the console, it's possible to ask almost anyone to follow you. Some voice actors did not record certain phrases
used in follower interactions, so there may be some voice changes and/or silence during certain exchanges.
The option of asking people to follow you is triggered by their membership of the PotentialFollower faction and their disposition towards you. The following commands assume that you have the NPC targetted via prid(refid) or by simply clicking on them.
You may raise their disposition with you using setrelationshiprank 14 3 (where 14=player and 3=ally)
To add an NPC to the follower faction, enter the command addtofaction 5c84d 3 (where 5c84d is 0005C84D faction and 3
is rank in faction, ally). This will give them the dialogue option needed to follow you if it's possible for them to do so. After entering
this command, if the NPC can be a follower, you should see the 'Follow me, I need your help.' dialog option. Though it's not required to have the follower dialog option, followers additionally are usually in the player ally faction addtofaction 5a1a4 3 so that even if they are not following you they will regard you as an ally.
As far as having more than one at a time, I believe you are stuck (for now) with just one permanent follower and one dog - and any quest followers you manage to find.
