About living arrangements. I'm sure it differs from company to company, but I've heard that some will provide you an apartment, and others will help you find one. We're perfectly capable of finding one on our own, but if the company *forces* me to live in one of theirs, I have a few questions. Will my lover be able to live there with me? Also, I have a dog and a cat. I really don't want to give them up. I'm sure it's difficult to find an apartment that allows pets, and impossible if I'm forced to live in a company apartment that doesn't allow them.

Do not plan on bringing pets to Japan. The last I heard I think there is a 3-to-6 month quarantine for any animals coming to Japan. So your dog and cat will be completely different beasts after spending that kind of time in Japanese animal jail.
On JET do not plan on being able to live with your GF. Company apartments will not allow pets, but family style apartments will. If you do go on JET, they will expect you to live where they place you, and that will certainly be cheaper than renting a new apartment anyway.
What's the rush to live together?
