Anytime...

Hello...

Some people says:
Anna: Thank you very much, Dan!
Dan: Anytime...

What is actually meant by "Anytime"?

Is it a proper way to respond like this?
To whom it is most suitable to respond to?

TQ

It's just a casual/informal reply to a thank you. I guess it's similar to saying "don't mention it" or "no problem" but, unlike these two words, "anytime" implies willingness to do something (usually a small favor) for someone again. Oftentimes it will be used among friends but you can also say it to a complete stranger.
