Hi Deana,
My son didn't roll over till he was 8 months. Babies do it on their own time. He was my second and I was worried, but he did it when he was ready. We all worry, if your doctor isn't concerned and your gut isn't telling you theres any issue, I would just wait. It will come.

If your doctor is not concerned I wouldn't be. :) I was a very unmotivated child (a trait which has haunted me to adulthood) my mom said I could be a very frustrating first child because I hit all the milestones super late. I knew how to role over, but I was perfectly content to stay on whatever side I was on. My second daughter is shaping up to be like me. More of an observer of the world than an active participant. Don't stress it too much, just enjoy the fact that she can't rip up your house yet and check with your doctor if you think something seems to be wrong. :)
