Companions have perks? I didn't know that. Do they give you a quest at some point or something?
I guess Piper is in Diamond city. I haven't run into her yet, not Cait. Just have McReady and Strong. (And the vault-tech guy, but he's not a companion afaik)

If you get the highest level of friendship and/or romance with them, you get their perk permanently, even when you switch.  I've maxed out Cait, MacCready, Piper, and Valentine.  MacCready's is so overpowered that I sometimes avoid taking advantage of it.  He gives you a higher headshot hit percentage in VATS.  Preston and Codsworth are companions, too, but I haven't used them yet.  Oh, and the BoS guy but I haven't finished that questline.

You probably have to finish their quests but I'm not sure.  Some are long but others, like Piper's, are simple.  Piper is also super easy to get to like you, since she likes it when you pick locks.  I really like her voice work, as well.
